Key takeaways: Bitfinex margin longs fell 18%, despite Bitcoin price rising 24% in 30 days. $6.8 billion in long positions far outweight the current $25 million in shorts. Bitcoin options positioning and spot BTC inflows point to confidence from institutional investors. Bitcoin (BTC) price climbed 23.7% over the past 30 days, yet traders on Bitfinex have cut their leveraged long positions by more than 18,000 BTC during this time. This wave of profit-taking in margin markets has led to speculation that professional traders may not be fully confident in the current $104,000 price level. Bitfinex BTC margin longs, BTC.

Zach Witkoff, one of the co-founders of the Donald Trump family-backed crypto platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has rebuffed efforts by US lawmakers to investigate the president’s potential conflicts of interest. In a May 15 letter to Senator Richard Blumenthal, lawyers for World Liberty Financial claimed a call to investigate the crypto platform was based on “fundamentally flawed premises and inaccuracies.” Witkoff did not specifically address any allegations, claiming that WLFI was “too busy building” for oversight. “The Company rejects the false choice between innovation and oversight,” said the letter. “What it opposes is the misuses of regulatory authority and uncertainty to suppress lawful innovation.” May 15 letter to Sen.

A federal judge has sentenced Eric Council Jr., one of the individuals responsible for posting a fake message announcing regulatory approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, to 14 months in prison. Following a May 16 hearing in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department announced that Council would serve 14 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud. He was part of a group that compromised the X account of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January 2024 and said the regulatory body would be approving spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs. Prosecutors had requested that the judge impose a two-year sentence, while Council’s lawyers asked for one year and one day. Court filings showed he earned roughly $50,000 through SIM swap attacks like the one that compromised the SEC’s X account — funds likely subject to forfeiture. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Christy Goldsmith Romero of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will step down on May 31, leaving three seats open at the financial regulator. In a May 16 announcement, Romero said her last day at the agency would be on May 31, ahead of her initial plans to leave if the Senate confirmed former commissioner Brian Quintenz as the new chair. Her departure will come just one day after Commissioner Summer Mersinger is expected to step down to join the crypto advocacy organization the Blockchain Association as CEO. “It has been a tremendous honor to conclude my 23 years of federal service at an agency with such an important mission to ensure that financial markets perform their critical role in the US and global economies,” said Romero. Romero and Mersinger’s upcoming departures would leave the CFTC with only two Senate-confirmed members: acting chair Caroline Pham and Commissioner Kristin Johnson, each taking one Republican and Democratic seat, respectively. The shakeup in leadership gives President Donald Trump the opportunity to pick two more commissioners after the Senate addresses Quintenz’s nomination. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Shares of Basel Medical Group are down around 15% after the healthcare company announced plans to buy $1 billion in Bitcoin for its corporate treasury.  On May 16, Singapore-based Basel said it was “in advanced discussions with a consortium of institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals […] to acquire a US$1 billion BTC through an innovative share-swap arrangement. The company said the benefits of its planned purchase include creating “one of the strongest balance sheets among Asia-focused healthcare providers” and providing “unmatched financial flexibility for mergers and acquisitions.” It also said the Bitcoin (BTC) treasury would help Basel “[e]stablish “a diversified asset base to weather market volatility.” But the company’s shareholders weren’t sold.

Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, predicts Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $200,000 by the end of 2025 due to a supply shock from heightened institutional demand. In an interview with Cointelegraph at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, the executive said that Bitwise's Bitcoin price prediction model is driven exclusively by supply and demand metrics. Hougan laid out the specific figures driving the forecast: "We know that miners will produce 165,000 BTC this year. Already, publicly traded companies have bought more than that. ETFs are at $6 billion in inflows. We think governments are going to be buying. We see this sort of structural difference between demand and supply."

Opinion by: Megan Knab, CEO, Franklin Payroll There are few historical examples of such a massive about-face for an industry, from banks debanking crypto businesses to now embracing stablecoins. If you talk to most crypto startup founders or companies with crypto on the balance sheet, they will all have war stories about finding, applying for and maintaining bank accounts.  Over the past three years, over half of debanking complaints have been lodged against four American banks — Bank of America, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Citibank. Now, as the policies that discriminated against the crypto industry, like “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” and the recision of controversial accounting rule SAB 121, have been repealed, a new openness to blockchain technology from the finance sector is possible.  It i…

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation — better known as MiCA — is now in its critical implementation phase. Designed to unify crypto regulation across all 27 EU member states, MiCA promises clarity, consumer protection and long-term market stability. But as implementation begins, cracks are already showing. In this week’s episode of Byte-Sized Insight, we explore the key provisions of MiCA now in force, particularly around stablecoins, and why some of the largest players in the market are refusing to comply. As of January 2025, crypto asset service providers (CASPs) began acquiring licenses to operate legally within the EU. A transitional or “grandfathering” period allows existing firms up to 18 months, depending on the member state, to comply. Still, with deadlines app…

As cryptocurrency gains in popularity and price, some criminals are taking to violent measures to steal funds from high-profile crypto holders. Jameson Lopp’s GitHub repository, which logs such incidents, has recorded 22 “$5 wrench” attacks on crypto holders in 2025 alone. The moniker comes from the crude and violent methods perpetrators use to compel crypto holders to hand over their bags.  In many cases, local law enforcement can intervene before anyone is harmed and funds are lost. But there is a growing trend of increasingly violent and successful attacks, some of which have resulted in permanent harm and even death. The most recent incident in Paris, France compelled the French Ministry of the Interior to hold a meeting to address the rising trend. Here are just seven of the most high…

Ethereum Merge architect Justin Drake told Cointelegraph that it would be cheaper to launch a 51% attack on Bitcoin than on Ethereum. Drake said it would be “much cheaper to 51% attack Bitcoin” and that it would cost “on the order of $10 billion.” Drake led work on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) implementation and was a principal architect in the Merge (the full PoS transition event). His remarks echo a May 14 X post by Grant Hummer, the co-founder of Ethereum-focused marketing and product company Etherealize. In the post, Hummer said that Bitcoin “is completely screwed because of its security budget.” Hummer claimed it would cost $8 billion to run a successful 51% attack, and said a successful attack is “virtually certain” when the cost slips to $2 billion.

Bringing student loans onchain would increase the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi) by more than four times, supercharging the industry, according to Yat Siu, chairman of Animoca Brands. Speaking at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Siu pointed to the $3 trillion global student loan market as an untapped opportunity for the crypto industry. He said moving even 10% of that market onchain could significantly boost DeFi’s growth. “You basically more than quadruple TVL in all of DeFi,” he said, underscoring how the industry is still in its early stages.  Consensus chairman Michael Lau (left) with Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu (right) at the Consensus mainstage in Toronto, Canada.

The Pacific US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands has passed a bill allowing its small constituent island of Tinian to launch a stablecoin, overriding an earlier veto by the territory’s governor. The 20-member Northern Mariana Islands House voted 14-2 to undo Governor Arnold Palacios’ April 11 veto of the bill, which allows the Tinian local government to issue licenses to internet casinos and includes a provision for the Tinian treasurer to issue, manage and redeem a “Tinian Stable Token.”  The territory’s nine-member Senate had revived the bill on May 9, voting 7-1 in a two-thirds majority to override the veto, which then needed a two-thirds majority in the House to pass. Representative Marissa Flores (top left) had urged for “thoughtful deliberation” on the internet gaming and sta…

Jason Guthrie, head of product at asset manager WisdomTree, says he’s optimistic despite a noticeable lack of hype that typically comes along with a crypto bull run.  There hasn't been a “really frothy use case that has typically driven these market cycles previously,” such as initial coin offerings (ICOs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or DeFi lending, Guthrie told Cointelegraph at Consensus. “This time, we’ve continued to see the asset class gathering value, we’ve continued to see the companies that are built on this technology, growing revenue, growing client bases, continuing to innovate without really hanging their hat on one of these frankly less than useful use cases,” he said.

Deepfake-assisted hackers are now targeting US federal and state officials by masquerading as senior US officials in the latest brazen phishing campaign to steal sensitive data.  The bad actors have been operating since April, using deepfake voice messages and text messages to masquerade as senior government officials and establish rapport with victims, the FBI said in a May 15 warning.  “If you receive a message claiming to be from a senior US official, do not assume it is authentic,” the agency said.   If US officials’ accounts are compromised, the scam could become far worse because hackers can then “target other government officials, or their associates and contacts, by using the trusted contact information they obtain,” the FBI said.  As part of these scams, the FBI says the hackers a…

US federal prosecutors are pressing ahead with their case against Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm, but will drop a small part of their indictment after the Department of Justice rolled back its crypto enforcement last month. Jay Clayton, the acting US Attorney for Manhattan, told federal court judge Katherine Polk Failla in a May 15 letter that the charges against Storm still stand, bar one part of a conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business charge. “After review of this case, this Office and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General have determined that this prosecution is consistent with the letter and spirit of the April 7, 2025 Memorandum from the Deputy Attorney General,” Clayton wrote. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s April memo said the Justice Departmen…

🔙 Previously: What is UDP? Understanding the "Unreliable" Transport Protocol If you’re just starting to learn about computer networks, you might find the term "UDP" a little confusing, especially when people describe it as "unreliable." Don’t worry, In this post, we’ll break things down simply so you can understand what’s happening behind the scenes when a message is sent using UDP. Think of a UDP packet like a shipping box. It contains two things: A very small label (header) – just 8 bytes long The actual content (data) – what you want to send The label has the following four items: Source Port (16 bits): Like the return address, it tells the receiver where the message came from. Destination Port (16 bits): Tells where the message should go - kind of like a delivery address. Len…  ( 5 min )

You’ve put in the late nights, the weekends, the debugging marathons. You’ve solved real problems, learned new tech, and stayed ahead of the curve. But when it comes to interviews? You feel stuck. You give answers you know are technically sound. You talk about the work you’ve done. You try to be clear and confident. And yet, the rejections keep coming. Sometimes you get ghosted. Sometimes you get told someone else was a “better fit.” But deep down, you know the truth: It’s not because you’re not good enough. It’s because your answers did not resonate with the answers interviewers were expecting. And that’s the part no one teaches you. How to explain your thinking? How do you tell the story behind your code without missing technical details? How do you show value without sounding like you’r…  ( 8 min )

Building an AI Music Assistant with Sonic Pi and MCP Ever wanted to say, “Play me a funky bassline in C minor”, and have your computer just do it? That’s exactly what this project is about. We're merging the expressive world of music with the precise world of code — and then adding AI to the mix. By combining Sonic Pi (a live-coded music studio) with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), we’re building an interface where natural language becomes actual sound. If you live at the crossroads of code and creativity (hi, welcome), you know the frustration of context-switching between the rigid syntax of programming and the freeform weirdness of making art. Sonic Pi already lets us write music like we write code — but what if our tools could understand us when we speak in musical ideas? Imagine: a…  ( 5 min )

Por um tempo, os desenvolvedores Go precisaram usar soluções improvisadas para gerenciar dependências de ferramentas. Com o lançamento do Go 1.24, isso mudou completamente. Vamos ver como! Quem trabalha com Go sabe bem o quanto o ecossistema de ferramentas é fundamental para o desenvolvimento produtivo. Desde geradores de código como stringer até analisadores estáticos como staticcheck, essas ferramentas se tornaram parte essencial do fluxo de trabalho diário. No entanto, gerenciar essas dependências sempre foi um desafio - especialmente ao trabalhar em equipe. Até agora, a solução padrão era o famoso padrão "tools.go" - um arquivo com imports em branco que não eram realmente usados no código, mas garantiam que as ferramentas fossem baixadas quando necessário. Era funcional, mas nunca pare…  ( 6 min )

As a developer, you may have had moments where you find yourself running the same bunch of commands repeatedly. For example, bumping package.json version, pushing to git, and publishing to NPM, whenever you wanna ship a new version of your NPM package. I was facing the same issue. And given how lazy my brain is, I wanted to make this easier and simpler. So, I built Jido. Jido is a workflow automation CLI, where you can define your workflows (called flows) in a config file, and run them using npx jido flow . The config file is a jido.config.js in the project root. So, custom JS logic is also applicable, unlike Bash scripts. Get started with jido by running: npm install --save-dev jido The jido.config.js file call the jido() function and export it by default. It takes in an objec…  ( 5 min )

Logs never sleep and neither do engineers in production. When disaster strikes at 3 AM, your ability to quickly identify what went wrong can make the difference between a minor hiccup and a major outage.

Brief reminder: Functional requirements = what the system should do Non-functional requirements = how the system should behave Usually applications handle complex datasets and need to: Store data efficiently in databases Cache expensive operation results Provide search and filtering capabilities Process messages asynchronously and more. Suppose you have a banking website. Would you rather show wrong numbers to your customers or show no data at all? Rather show no data. However, if you're Facebook, you would of course rather show wrong data (not-updated likes count for example) than no data. So non-functional requirements matter. Here I want to walk through the most important ones. However, I will only discuss on data related ones. Reliability simply means "continuing to work correctly, eve…  ( 6 min )

Context: Contribution from Amazon Community Builder to AI Engineering Month : Amazon Nova To be successful in the cutthroat market of today, the modern software development process needs to be quick, reliable, and efficient in productivity. While working in Software industries for a long time, I have observed that the software developers often spend a huge time on documentation for the software which includes System requirement specification, HLD, LLD, Technical design & architecture, Data model etc. These tasks can become bottlenecks, especially when building MVPs, prototypes, or internal tools. They slow down innovation and introduce inconsistencies across teams. To provide solution to this problem, I built a serverless API using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Amazon Bedrock's Nova found…  ( 7 min )

Have you ever wondered how Node.js handles asynchronous operations so efficiently? The secret lies in the Event Loop, a core component that orchestrates the execution of tasks. In this series, "Node.js Event Loop Visualized," we will dive deep into the inner workings of the Event Loop using a powerful tool: the Event Loop Visualizer. The Event Loop Visualizer is a tool I've been developing, based on a fork of an existing project. It offers a unique insight into the real execution of the Event Loop by utilizing a modified version of the Node.js core. Unlike other tutorials, courses, and posts that often rely on simulations to explain the Event Loop, this tool captures the actual execution, recording each phase in real-time. This provides a clearer and more accurate understanding of how Node.js manages tasks and events. Feel free to explore the Event Loop Visualizer and see it in action for yourself! The Event Loop Visualizer is composed of several key sections: Code Editor: Write and execute JavaScript code to see how it interacts with the Event Loop. Macrotask and Microtask Queues: Visualize how tasks are queued and processed. Call Stack: Observe the current call stack and how functions are executed. Event Loop Phases: Track the different phases of the Event Loop, such as Timers, Poll, and Check. Ticks & Rejections Loop Phases: Understand how Node.js handles next ticks and microtasks. Metrics: Monitor loop counts and event processing statistics. Simulated Terminal: View real-time output from your code execution. In each post of this series, we will analyze a specific block of code and explore how it is executed within the Event Loop. We'll cover a range of examples, from basic like timers to more advanced such as handling sockets and streams. Stay tuned as we embark on this journey to demystify the Node.js Event Loop. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, this series will provide valuable insights and practical knowledge. Let's get started!  ( 3 min )

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says Apple is flat-out ghosting Fortnite’s latest App Store submission—“neither accepted nor rejected” it—putting this Friday’s big update at risk. Epic filed a new build on May 14 after Apple ignored their May 9 resubmission, even though Apple usually reviews 90% of apps within a day. A 2021 court injunction told Apple to “quit it” and follow the rules, but didn’t actually force Fortnite back on the store, so Apple’s free to leave the game hanging. Meanwhile, Sweeney’s been all over X pointing out Fortnite knock-offs that Apple approved (and some it quietly yanked), stoking fan outrage and shine a spotlight on the limbo. With zero word from Apple and a crucial update looming, iOS Fortnite players are left staring at a loading screen—and nobody knows what Epic will do next.  ( 3 min )

Max Mode in Cursor caught my attention because of how easy it is to enable—and how quietly it can start racking up costs. There’s no prompt, no permission gate, and no usage alert. It made me wonder: in an enterprise setup, how would we even know if someone turned it on? Cursor recently rolled out Max Mode, giving users access to their most powerful models—like GPT-4o and Claude Opus—with massively expanded context and smarter completions. It’s a great feature. But if you’re managing Cursor on an enterprise account, there’s a pretty big catch: anyone can turn it on, and it immediately starts billing your account. Here’s what Max Mode is, how it works, and why I think the lack of admin controls is a risky move. TL;DR: Max Mode in Cursor gives users powerful models with expanded context—but …  ( 6 min )

Hey Guys! This blog will make you understand what YAML is all about. Initially it was called Yet Another Markup Language, but later renamed to YAML Ain't Markup Language (a recursive acronym). YAML is the cleanest way to write configuration files. I'm guessing you already know we need config files for certain tasks while developing apps or working that DevOps magic. There are multiple ways to write configuration files such as XML, JSON, and TOML (plus several others), but YAML has some distinct advantages. These file formats make developers happy and help our data dance from server to server or client to server. They're primarily used for transmitting data between servers and clients, particularly in web applications. These are basic data formats for writing important stuff like secret fil…  ( 7 min )

Given a sorted array of numbers and a target sum, find the pair of numbers that add up to the target sum. Example: Input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], Target: 10 Expected Output: [4, 6] (since 4 + 6 = 10) Let's explore two approaches to solve this problem: the straightforward brute force method and the more elegant two-pointer technique. The brute force approach is the most intuitive way to solve this problem. We'll check every possible pair of numbers in the array and see if they add up to the target sum. Use two nested loops to consider every possible pair For each pair, check if their sum equals the target Return the pair when found function findPairBruteForce(arr, targetSum) { for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { for (let j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) { if (arr[i] + arr[j] === …  ( 6 min )

This PicoCTF Playlist section is called Intro to Debuggers, the challenges will go deeper into how to use the Debugger, specifically GDB, a common debugger and disassembler. After some explanations of how to use the GDB, we can do the challenges. I am also using a Virtual Machine with Ubuntu to solve these challenges. Can you figure out what is in the eax register at the end of the main function? Put your answer in the picoCTF flag format: picoCTF{n} where n is the contents of the eax register in the decimal number base. If the answer was 0x11 your flag would be picoCTF{17}. Disassemble this (file). So what we need to do is: Get the file (debugger0_a) to disassemble Disassemble the main function with GDB Gather the value of eax register at the end of main function In summary, we need to ga…  ( 10 min )

L-System Studio is an environment for creating and exploring L-Systems. It was built with Elm by Hunor Geréd. I learnt about the project when he decided to submit it to Built with Elm back in April 2023. It's a fun application for exploring L-Systems but it can be quite resource intensive. My browser has even crashed on several occasions. Definitely not a good look for Elm. Could the performance be improved whilst using Elm or do we have to resort to mutable generation in JavaScript? That was the nagging question. The first thing that caught my attention was the huge number of SVG nodes that were being generated in the DOM. Those SVG nodes are created by looping over the array of characters returned by LSys.generateSequence. It's not one to one but the number of SVG nodes that are added to…  ( 9 min )

Configure an Amazon CloudWatch alarm with an encrypted Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Monitoring and alerting are essential in the cloud but securing those alerts is important too. In this post, we are going to explore how to configure a CloudWatch Alarm so that you are being notified through an SNS topic, which is encrypted with KMS, so your alert data stays secured. Note: You must use an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key to deliver Amazon SNS notifications with an encrypted Amazon SNS topic for a CloudWatch alarm. If you use the default alias/aws/sns AWS managed key for encryption, then the CloudWatch alarm fails to initiate the alarm action. You then receive a message that's similar to the following in the Alarm History section: "Failed …  ( 5 min )

By: Matt Butcher The WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) specification is a proposed standard that describes how to connect a WebAssembly application to its underlying environment. Designed with security at the fore, WASI describes mechanisms for Wasm applications to interact with system resources such as clocks, sockets, filesystems, environment variables, and other Wasm components. The original WebAssembly project was jointly created by Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, and Apple in order to provide a common language runtime inside of the web browser. Following the path of web standards like HTML and CSS, the early Wasm creators decided to standardize the technology through the W3C. Nearly a decade later, the W3C standardization of WebAssembly is moving along well. WebAssembly 1.0 was complete…  ( 6 min )

🗥️ So I was casually doomscrolling X (yes, again)... when I stumbled upon a post by DEV Community that made my brain short-circuit: ✨ “ScoutDB turns plain English into MongoDB queries.” Wait, what?! You've got the data questions, but not always the query-fu: "Find all users who joined after Jan 2023 and liked more than 5 posts" Normally, you'd need to hand-craft some MongoDB incantation like: db.users.aggregate([ { $match: { joinDate: { $gte: ISODate("2023-01-01") }, likes: { $gt: 5 } } } ]) But what if you could skip the syntax pain? ScoutDB is like having a friendly AI that: ✅ Understands what you're trying to ask in English explore like a boss You type: Show me all posts with more than 100 likes created in the last 30 days ScoutDB replies with: db.posts.find({ likes: { $gt: 100 }, createdAt: { $gte: new Date(Date.now() - 30*24*60*60*1000) } }) Then maps the results and relationships for you in a visual explorer. No more $lookup headaches. No more crying in JSON.

Ever been in a daily Scrum where developers list empty words like “I coded the UI”? That’s a status update, not a sprint goal discussion. I’ve seen this confusion tank team focus for many years - and yes, I fix it every time. Sprint goals are Scrum’s core, yet developers often treat them as empty to-do lists. So let’s explore why developers confuse them with status updates, why sprint goals matter and how to fix the status update confusion to deliver real value. Why the confusion? A sprint goal is a clear outcome, like “Our team will allow users to enable gravitational anti-matter this sprint so that users can fly above water in their cars” or “We need to reduce technical debt to free up 25% of EC2 resources for other higher value added batches.” It’s the common why for the whole team t…  ( 5 min )

How NGINX Works Web Server Acting as a Reverse Proxy: The Middleman with Superpowers Here's how it works: A client sends an HTTP request to your web application. NGINX receives the request first, acting as the front-facing gateway. Based on its configuration, NGINX forwards the request to the appropriate backend server. The backend server processes the request (e.g., querying a database or rendering a web page) and sends the response back to NGINX. NGINX then returns the response to the original client. Key Advantages of Using NGINX as a Reverse Proxy: Load Balancing: Distributes traffic across multiple backend servers using strategies such as round-robin, least connections, or IP hash.

Introduction What is a Media Query? A media query is a CSS technique used to apply styles based on the device's characteristics, like screen width, height, orientation, or resolution. It helps make websites responsive. Syntax of a Media Query @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) { @media is the rule. only screen targets screen devices. (max-width: 600px) means it will apply when the screen is 600px or less. Inside the curly braces, you write the CSS rules that should apply. Common Media Query Breakpoints /* Small devices (phones) */ @media (max-width: 600px) { ... } /* Tablets */ @media (min-width: 601px) and (max-width: 992px) { ... } /* Laptops */ @media (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) { ... } /* Desktops */ @media (min-width: 1201px) { ... } These are just examples. You can set custom breakpoints based on your design needs. Why Media Queries Matter Improves user experience across different devices Helps build mobile-friendly websites Allows you to customize layouts for different screen sizes My Practice Example /* Default style */ /* For mobile screens */ @media (max-width: 600px) { This changes the paragraph text size and color on smaller screens. Final Thoughts Learning media queries has helped me understand how to build responsive designs. It’s a simple but powerful tool in CSS that every web developer should master.  ( 3 min )

In this article, I will briefly discuss the most important aspects of concurrency in C#. A system is said to be concurrent if it can support two or more actions in progress at the same time. A system is said to be parallel if it can support two or more actions executing simultaneously. — The Art of Concurrency book To make breakfast, one person can boil eggs, make tea, and toast bread at the same time. However, they cannot drive to the grocery store and come back simultaneously. To make breakfast and buy groceries in parallel, you need at least two people. A computer with a single CPU and a single thread can perform multiple tasks by quickly switching between them. However, to work on multiple jobs simultaneously, multiple threads are required. Each thread acts as a separate worker, allowi…  ( 6 min )

Introduction When I first started my journey as a MERN stack developer, I saw JavaScript and its ecosystem as a whole new world — dynamic, event-driven, and surprisingly flexible. However, having a solid background in Core Java gave me a foundation that turned out to be incredibly valuable, even if the syntax and paradigms seemed worlds apart at first. In this blog, I’ll share my personal experience of how mastering Core Java concepts like multithreading, memory management, and object-oriented principles helped me become a better MERN developer. I’ll dive into how these Java fundamentals sharpened my understanding of backend architecture, asynchronous programming in Node.js, and even front-end design thinking.

If you don't know me yet, I have been working on ArkScript for nearly 6 years now. ArkScript is a scripting language in modern C++, running on a custom virtual machine (like Python or Lua), with the goal of having a syntax easy to learn and use, a C++ interface to embed it in programs, and decent performances (without trying to be as fast as Lua though, Mike Pall is a genius and did outstanding work on LuaJIT). A silly question that you shouldn't care about, unless the perceived slowness of the language is becoming a problem. Recently, I added more benchmarks to the language, and I was quite astonished to see that it was 1.5 times slower than Python on such a simple benchmark: (mut collection []) (mut i 0) (while (< i 1000000) { (append! collection i) (set i (+ i 1)) }) (mut sum 0) (s…  ( 10 min )

A large part of state management is data management - who owns data? How are limits kept track of? How is data allocated and destroyed? Our system has objects transparently migrating from server to server, so pointers are not an option - we have references instead. References can become invalid if the referenced object is destroyed, which leaves us with two options. Guarantee at the compiler and runtime level that all references remain valid while used, through lifetime tracking and the borrow checker, or force the programmer to handle the case of an invalid reference on every access. The latter is easier, if we introduce "owning references", which there can be only one of, and that are always valid. In fact, when an object is just declared as a field of another object - that's an owned re…  ( 5 min )

Ever wondered how JavaScript can fetch data from an API, wait for a timeout, and respond to user clicks, all without freezing your browser? It's not magic, it's the event loop. Even though JavaScript runs on a single thread, it handles multiple operations seamlessly using a clever system of background tasks, queues, and scheduling. Before we dive into how the event loop keeps things running smoothly, let’s break down the key components that make JavaScript’s async behaviour possible. Call Stack: Web APIs / Node APIs: These are provided by the browser or Node.js, things like setTimeout, fetch, DOM events, etc. They run asynchronously outside the main thread. Task Queue: After a Web API finishes (like a setTimeout), it sends the callback to the Task Queue. Microtask Queue: For things like Pr…  ( 4 min )

"Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress." - Mahatma Gandhi. I saw that quote the other day, and it sort of lodged itself in my brain. I’m a pretty heavy YouTube consumer – it’s where I get news, learn stuff, find entertainment, the whole nine yards. And lately, watching hours of content, I’ve started to notice something… a kind of invisible wall that seems to go up around certain creators. You know how it is. You find a creator you vibe with. Their takes are fresh, or funny, or they just explain things in a way that clicks. So you subscribe, hit the bell, all that. And then you scroll down to the comments. And often, especially with more established channels, it's just… a sea of agreement. Pure affirmation. "You're so right!" "This is exactly what I was thinking!" "Best chann…  ( 5 min )

Javascript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS.It's a high-level programming language used to add interactivity to web pages.Before JavaScript, webpages were static — they displayed content and provided hyperlinks which enabled the user to navigate through the Web, but offered little in terms of user interaction or dynamic behaviour.JavaScript changed this by enabling developers to create dynamic, responsive web experiences, allowing real-time content updates, interactive forms, and engaging user interfaces directly in the browser. Each web browser has its own JavaScript engine that interprets and executes JavaScript code, converting it into machine language to run on the computer's hardware.This javascript engine plays a pivotal role in providing …  ( 6 min )

Web apps are under siege in 2025. Cybercriminals are more sophisticated, APIs are under constant attack, and traditional authentication methods like session cookies or static API keys just don’t cut it anymore.

In 2025, we finally made the call — Sails.js is out of our stack. We tried hard to keep Sails alive. We added TypeScript, wrote custom types, wrapped controllers, hacked the models, and even considered forking it to modernize the whole thing. But the deeper we went, the more obvious it became — the foundation just isn't made for today. Outdated patterns, broken dependencies, Docker images with critical vulnerabilities... The project is barely maintained — just version bumps for security. It’s no longer a tool for modern development. Our main project today is RestoApp — an open-source platform for restaurants, food delivery, and retail. A big part of it is the admin panel. Originally, we started from sails-hook-adminpanel by Kostya Zolotaryov — and we’re genuinely thankful to him for that. It gave us a solid starting point. Over 8 years, we evolved it a lot — changed frontend stacks multiple times — and today, it’s become a fully independent, configurable, and open-source admin system. No longer tied to Sails, no specific ORM, no locked-in logic. Just a single config file — and it works. Meet Adminizer 📌 What’s next? So yeah — this is our goodbye to Sails. Now — we move forward.  ( 3 min )

We store data to record the state: A password change, an order made, an order delivered and etc. Such things can be seen as stand-alone events or, in many cases, they are part of a step in a process. And, it's common to see those things be chucked into a single table. All those columns can result in models that bloat to 1000s of lines. When looking at a model like that, you may have an urge to group all columns and methods to make sense of what is going on. It's tiring enough doing it once, but it becomes a bigger issue when you and others have to go through the same process each time. In situations like this, proxy models can become invaluable! They can enable you to split columns in models into targeted sections. In this article, I will: Share the basics of what proxy models are Why sho…  ( 5 min )

ORM technology indeed simplifies basic CRUD operations, but it also has many limitations when dealing with complex calculations. Hibernate’s HQL is notably inadequate, making it difficult to implement dynamic column calculations and multi-layer associations. While JOOQ improves flexibility through its DSL, its grouping calculations require multi-layer nesting, leading to more verbose code than native SQL. esProc SPL is like a “plug-in” for data computation! To write a multi-layer JOIN based on dynamic conditions, you had to use chain calls in Java for half an hour with JOOQ. Now you can implement this in just a few lines of SPL script, and its syntax is more intuitive than SQL. For example, calculating ‘top 3 sales by department’, which even requires nesting in SQL: SELECT dept, name FROM …  ( 5 min )

Let’s cut the crap. In 2025, the app stores are drowning in clones, crypto wallets with 2 screens, habit trackers built in 4 hours, and yet another to-do list app that looks like it was spat out of a UI template generator. We’re not short on apps. We’re short on quality. On soul. On effing intention. Yeah, I said it. We’re shipping MVPs without asking: Who is this for? Why does this matter? Would I even use this more than once? Half the time, apps today feel like the digital equivalent of a sticky note: quick, forgettable, and destined for the trash. You’ve got a killer stack. You’re running Next.js, Firebase, Tailwind, Gemini APIs, and some fancy prompt-chaining wizardry. Just because you can ship it in 2 days doesn’t mean you should. Real talk: The app store doesn’t need another crypto portfolio tracker. No one is asking for your AI-based meditation timer with 17 onboarding screens.

Attackers often exploit misconfigured images, outdated software, or excessive privileges. Evaluating …  ( 5 min )

Cyberattacks are becoming a daily occurrence—is your web app still running unprotected? Traditional WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) rely on outdated signature libraries that are slow to update and often miss the mark, acting like Schrödinger’s cat of false positives and missed threats. That’s where SafeLine WAF steps in. Backed by semantic analysis + AI, it rewrites the rules of defense: detecting threats via behavior modeling instead of static patterns, catching malicious activity at the API level before it reaches your app. Open-sourced by Chaitin Tech, SafeLine is fast becoming a trendsetter in next-gen WAFs on GitHub.

Automation Isn’t Enough Anymore For decades, business automation has been a reliable tool for improving efficiency, moving emails, copying data, and sending alerts. But today’s business environment is faster, more data-driven, and increasingly unpredictable. Traditional rule-based automation is struggling to keep up. Traditional automation tools like Zapier, Make, and basic RPA (Robotic Process Automation) platforms helped companies automate repetitive tasks. These systems operate on "if-this-then-that" logic. However, they have significant limitations: Lack of Adaptability: Even small deviations, like a changed email format, can cause failures. No Contextual Understanding: They cannot interpret unstructured data, sentiment, or nuance. Constant Maintenance: Business process changes requi…  ( 6 min )

Hi! I’m Kostiantyn, a 14-year-old fullstack developer with solid skills in JavaScript and TypeScript. Over the last few months, I’ve earned more than $3,000 working on real projects and freelancing — all before even finishing high school. Mastering JavaScript/TypeScript and Next.js for fast, scalable frontend and backend development. Building simple SaaS projects that solve real problems and bring real income. Learning backend basics with Node.js and NestJS, since this stack is in huge demand. Why I Put Go on Hold I started learning Go because it’s popular for backend and microservices. But quickly realized it doesn’t fit my current goals. Go requires more time to master and lacks the quick feedback loop I get with JavaScript and Node.js. For now, I prioritize skills and tools that help me earn money faster and build complete products. To keep building SaaS products and freelance projects that improve my skills and generate income. Practical experience and fast results are key at my age. I’ll continue focusing on JavaScript, Next.js, and NestJS, then later consider other backend languages like Go or Rust when I’m ready for bigger challenges. Thanks for reading!

A Nostalgic Story About 8 years ago, when I was just a kid, I began my coding journey with a school book — you know, the classic QBASIC chapter. I learned about variables, conditional statements, and control flow, writing small programs like basic calculators and whatnot. But then, there was this one section at the end... That single section changed everything. I learned how to draw rectangles, circles, and all kinds of shapes on the screen. And then my brain started buzzing with ideas. You know what’s coming next… my very first game. If you’re a tech person, you’re probably thinking: “Who the hell makes games in QBASIC?” 😅 Well… an innocent 11-year-old me did.

Description: Learn the basics of key HTML tags and how to build your very first simple webpage with easy-to-follow code examples. Introduction Figure: A historical newspaper front page (Hilo Tribune). HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it’s the foundation of every web page. It uses code (tags inside ) to tell your browser how to display content. This is similar to how a newspaper uses headlines and sections to organize information. For example, the image above shows a newspaper with a big headline and columns of text. In HTML, we create structure with heading tags ( through ) and paragraph tags ( ), just like the title and stories in a newspaper. Why HTML Matters When a browser loads a website, it reads the HTML file to decide what to show. This makes HTML the s…  ( 5 min )

How Java Stores Data in Memory — Primitives vs Non-Primitives Java is a statically typed language, which means every variable’s type must be known at compile time. This allows the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to allocate memory efficiently and enforce type safety during execution. Primitive types are the building blocks of data in Java. They have fixed memory sizes and are stored in the stack. The value of a primitive can change, but its size does not. Type Size Description byte 1 byte Smallest integer (–128 to 127) short 2 bytes Short integer int 4 bytes Default integer type long 8 bytes Large-range integer float 4 bytes Single-precision float double 8 bytes Double-precision float char 2 bytes Unicode character boolean 1 bit* True or False (handled as 1 byte internall…  ( 5 min )

🚫 Top 10 Common Mistakes in Kotlin Programming Treating nullable types as non-null without checks. ✅ Use ?., ?:, and !! carefully. Prefer safe calls and smart casting. !! (Not-null Assertion) Using !! too much can crash the app with NullPointerException. ✅ Use null-safe operators and proper null checks instead. var Instead of val Declaring variables as mutable (var) when they should be immutable (val). ✅ Prefer val for safer, more predictable code. Using apply, let, also, etc., without understanding context. ✅ Choose the right scope function for the right purpose. == and === == checks structural equality, === checks reference equality. ✅ Know when to use each depending on what you're comparing. Not using try/catch when calling risky operations (e.g., parsing, IO). ✅ Always handle exceptions gracefully. Launching coroutines without a proper scope or dispatcher. ✅ Use structured concurrency: lifecycleScope, viewModelScope, etc. Reinventing functions already available (e.g., filter, map, groupBy). ✅ Explore and master Kotlin’s powerful standard library. Not converting Java-style code to idiomatic Kotlin. ✅ Embrace Kotlin syntax, avoid Java habits (e.g., setters/getters, verbose loops). Explicitly declaring types unnecessarily. ✅ Let the compiler infer types where obvious – cleaner and shorter code. Generate exclusive photo for your post  ( 3 min )

I just built a self-contained AI chatbot—no cloud dependencies, no API keys, just pure local power with 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡, 𝐎𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚, 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐒, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡. Tech Stack: 🤖 Build a fully local AI chatbot that answers questions from uploaded documents, with zero cloud dependencies. At first, it answered questions well enough. 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡 gave me the transparency I never knew I needed, revealing the exact document chunks retrieved, the prompts fed to the model, execution times, and even where things went off track. 🚧 The Problem: “It Works” Isn’t Enough At first, my chatbot seemed to be doing well — it returned reasonable answers to most questions. But then… weird things started to happen.. Without insight into what was happening step by step, debugging was pure guesswork.

Conceptual Comparison: Developer Mindset, Responsibility Separation, and Task Decomposition Building on the previous article, this one will explore the shift in developers' mindset when transitioning from API development to A2A development. Developer Mindset Shift: Function-Oriented vs. Agent-Oriented. Traditional development often involves thinking in terms of functions or API call sequences: starting from input, invoking services step-by-step, and finally producing output. Developers act as "orchestrators," controlling every step. In contrast, agent-oriented architecture requires a new mindset—designing a community of agents, each responsible for a subtask and interacting via messages and protocols. Instead of scripting flows directly, developers configure systems of autonomous agents,…  ( 5 min )

Understanding == vs Equal() for comparing time When working with time values in Go, one of the most common operations is comparing two timestamps. However, this seemingly simple task can lead to subtle bugs if you're not aware of the differences between using the equality operator (==) and the Equal() method. The equality operator (==) compares all fields of the time.Time struct, including the location information and the monotonic clock reading. This means two times that represent the exact same moment might not be considered equal if they were created in different ways or have different internal representations. t1 := time.Date(2023, time.January, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC) t2 := t1.In(time.FixedZone("UTC-8", -8*60*60)) // These times represent the same instant but have different locati…  ( 13 min )

The first phase of the project, a high-fidelity interactive prototype, is finally complete! This iteration is a sort of detailed rough draft showcasing the design and functionality of the website, mostly using placeholder content. The final straw for this iteration was the addition of the Gallery page. public/gallery/ directory. This means images can be uploaded directly into this folder, and they'll automatically appear with the next site build. To achieve this functionality, the /gallery route is rendered dynamically on the server: export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'; Rendering the page server-side allows the use of Node's built-in fs module to directly access files on the server: const galleryDir = path.join(process.cwd(), 'public', 'gallery'); let allFiles; try { allFiles = await fs.readdir(galleryDir); } catch (e) { console.error('Could not read gallery directory:', e) allFiles = []; } // Filter to only image files (jpg, png, gif, etc.) const images = allFiles.filter((file) => /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|webp|avif)$/i.test(file) ) I'll be utilizing Statsig to implement feature flags which will allow us to hide and show seasonal Hero sections without interacting with code.

Laravel is one of the most popular PHP frameworks, and for good reason—it's elegant, expressive, and comes with many built-in security features. But just because Laravel provides the tools doesn’t mean you’re automatically safe. Whether you're building an MVP or maintaining a large-scale application, security must be a priority. Here are 15 Laravel security best practices every developer should follow in 2025: Always keep Laravel, its dependencies, and PHP up to date. Laravel releases often include security patches and improvements. Laravel's Eloquent ORM and query builder automatically use prepared statements. ✅ Safe: $users = DB::table('users')->where('email', $email)->get(); ❌ Avoid: DB::select("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$email'"); Escape all output using Blade syntax: {{ $us…  ( 4 min )

As a beginner in C++, you might find yourself needing to convert strings to integers, for which you have already encountered functions like atoi and strtol. While atoi is straightforward, it lacks error checking, making strtol a more robust choice due to its ability to handle conversion errors properly. In this article, we will dive deeper into understanding *temp and &temp when using strtol, clarifying how they work and when to use each. Why Use strtol for String to Integer Conversion? The strtol function is preferred for converting strings to long integers because it provides better error handling. It allows you to detect whether the conversion was successful and if the entire string was converted. Here’s a quick overview of how to use strtol: Prototype: long strtol(const char *nptr, cha…  ( 5 min )

Here is a quick way to avoid nil errors and get better failures in Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Convert hashes with known keys into Structs: data = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3} ... MyData = Struct.new(:a,:b,:c) data = MyData.new(a: 1, b: 2, c: 3) Structs will throw if you introduce a typo instead of returning nil. This tightens your feedback loops and reduces debugging time. hash[:d] => nil struct[:d] => in 'Struct#[]': no member 'd' in struct (NameError) That is cool. What about in more fluid situations like user input? You can convert arbitrary incoming hashes into known structs quickly with the following: params = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, x: 9, z: 0} MyData.new(**params.slice(*MyData.members)) While Structs have much the same interface as hashes, there are some tricky differences. Hash#each is equivalent to Struct#each_pair. Hash#keys is equivalent to Struct#members. There is no equivalent to Hash#fetch.  ( 3 min )

Global foreign exchange and payments platforms are lobbying hard against stablecoins, which stand to significantly disrupt their business models, investor Kevin O’Leary said during a keynote address at Consensus 2025.

Asset tokenization is set to accelerate the movement of capital across traditional markets, according to Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov. Speaking with Cointelegraph at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Nazarov said the shift will boost capital velocity in asset classes such as treasuries, equities, private credit, commercial debt, and real estate. "I think that there are two sides to this equation. One is the asset, and the other one is the payment. So, you need more high-quality assets onchain, but you also need more frictionless payments that existing institutions can use easily," Nazarov said on May 14. The remarks came on the same day Chainlink announced a partnership with Kinexys, a blockchain network for institutional-grade tokenized assets by JP Morgan, and digital asset firm Ondo Fi…

Bitdeer Technologies Group reported a 41% year-over-year drop in revenue to $70.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, the Bitcoin miner said on May 15.  The Singaporean company clocked an operating loss of $3.2 million for the quarter, down from a $34.1 million profit during the same period last year, its earnings release said.  However, Bitdeer reported a Q1 net income of more than $400 million, largely driven by gains on convertible notes and warrants issued to stablecoin issuer Tether in 2024. Bitdeer’s revenue declines come as miners increasingly expand beyond Bitcoin (BTC) mining and pivot toward supplying high-performance computing (HPC) for artificial intelligence applications.  “As we scale self-mining and execute on our ASIC [mining hardware] roadmap, we are also advancing plan…

The repayment schedule for the next class of creditors will be “announced in due course,” and the debtors were expected to pay up to $16 billion if all claims were filed. Brea…

Stablecoin regulation is “the next catalyst” for the crypto industry and could lead to unprecedented “appetite from institutional investors,” according to Ash Pampati, head of ecosystem at the Aptos Foundation. In an interview with Cointelegraph at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Pampati said that “the whole world outside of the United States […] has already jumped onto this [stablecoins],” adding that “the US is [...] at the doorstep.” “I really think about new use cases that can emerge because of the borderless nature of stablecoins, because of the efficiency of the dollar onchain,” he said. “If you're trying to send money to your friend in Nigeria, why do you have to go through a bunch of hoops?” Stablecoins are often used to transfer money across borders, as they are easier and cheaper to …

The slow adoption of stablecoins in Canada has some local crypto industry observers concerned that the country is falling behind. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) classified stablecoins as “securities and/or derivatives” in December 2022 after the FTX debacle that shook markets and turned many lawmakers against the crypto industry. Regulating stablecoins as a security has seen few local stablecoin issuers arise, but in the United States and the European Union, softening regulations have seen significant growth in the stablecoin market. This makes Canada, observers say, less competitive with other jurisdictions.  Of particular concern is the perceived gap in peer-to-peer (P2P) payments in Canada, which stablecoins are uniquely qualified to fill.  Stablecoins globally have grown …

Coinbase has reportedly fired a group of customer support agents following their alleged involvement in social engineering attacks on users. The contracted agents were based in India. According to a May 15 Fortune interview, Coinbase's chief security officer, Philip Martin, said the company flagged customer support contractors who allowed scammers access to user data, suggesting they could be Indian nationals. The CSO’s comments came after some crypto users reeled from attempted phishing attacks using their Coinbase data, which the exchange estimated could cost them between $180 million and $400 million in remediation and reimbursement. Qiao Wang, a core contributor to Alliance DAO, said in a May 15 X post that he may have been a victim of one of these attacks. He said a scammer notified him his Coinbase account had been compromised, asked him to verify his personal information, to which the criminals likely had access through the compromised agents, and requested he withdraw all his funds to a “Coinbase self-custodial wallet.” “I called them out at the end of the call telling them they need to step up their game [...],” said Wang on X. “They told me that had made $7m that day.” Cointelegraph reached out to Martin and Coinbase for comments, but had not received responses at the time of publication. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Key takeaways: Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows dropped over 90% from $3 billion to $228 million in four weeks. While strong ETF inflows often drive Bitcoin rallies, recent data shows price movements can occur independently. Despite short-term selling pressure, long-term BTC whale buying suggests a potential continuation of the BTC uptrend. The Bitcoin (BTC) market posted a 90+% drop in spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows, falling from $3 billion in the last week of April to just $228 million this week. Historically, a slowdown in ETF inflows has impacted BTC price, notably when daily inflows averaged over $1.5 billion for consecutive weeks. To understand the potential impact on Bitcoin, let’s examine four key periods of significant spot ETF activity and their correlation with BTC pri…

Opinion by: Jennifer Dodgson, co-founder of KIP Protocol and Eigenform AI The puppet show is ending. The Brookings Institution found that generative artificial intelligence may disrupt at least 50% of tasks performed by more than 30% of all workers. The same study also estimates that genAI may affect at least 10% of tasks performed by approximately 85% of the human workforce. The TL;DR from these stats? AI’s effects are likely to be both broad and deep. If AI doesn’t already scare you, self-learning AI agents that autonomously achieve goals may fix that. Forget your sanitized ChatGPT conversations and bland AI assistants. Superior agents are AI that autonomously achieve human-set objectives by any means necessary. While OpenAI’s valuation of $300 billion benefits the few rather than the ma…

Understanding the 10-year Treasury yield: Definition and importance The 10-year Treasury yield is the interest rate that the US government pays to borrow money for 10 years. When the government needs cash, it issues bonds called Treasury notes, and the 10-year note is one of the most watched. The “yield” is the annual return you’d get if you bought that bond and held it until it matures. It’s expressed as a percentage, like 4% or 5%. Think of it as the government saying, “Hey, lend me $1,000, and I’ll pay you back in 10 years with some interest.” That interest rate and the yield move up or down based on demand for the bonds, inflation expectations and the overall economy. Because US Treasurys are considered safe (the government isn’t likely to def…

As more and more businesses are impacted by tariff volatility, some executives, like Ridhima Kahn, vice president of business development at Dapper Labs, are viewing the assault on the cost of physical goods as another use case for digital markets powered by blockchain to shine. “I’m seeing a lot of brands rethinking where revenue and fan engagement come from,” Kahn said during an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph. “A lot of franchises, like the ones we work with — NBA, NFL, Disney — have already had years of success with digital collection, and we’re seeing a lot of brands express interest in digital collectibles as a way to engage with fan bases at a time when physical costs are riskier and unknown.” Propelling brands to take a deeper look at digital merch is the desire to better un…

Europeans face tightening capital controls, inviting a recommendation to take back control of personal funds. Seven-figure BTC price targets are already gaining traction.

Prominent short-seller Jim Chanos, once a vocal critic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, revealed a new trading play that involves shorting shares of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and buying Bitcoin. At the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, Chanos told CNBC he’s “selling MicroStrategy stock and buying Bitcoin.” The investor described the move as buying something for $1 and selling something for $2.50, referring to what he sees as a significant price mismatch. Chanos argued that Strategy is selling the idea of buying Bitcoin (BTC) in a corporate structure, and that other companies are following suit in hopes of receiving a similar market premium. Chanos said this was “ridiculous.” He described his trade as “a good barometer of not only just the arbitrage itself, but I think of reta…

Opinion by: Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder, Animoca Brands A discussion on digital property rights, copyright, intellectual property, the open metaverse, AI and value without physical form. When I attend conferences and similar public events, someone almost always approaches me to ask how cryptographic tokens (fungible or non-fungible) can have value even though tokens are virtual and do not exist in the physical world. It's a surprisingly common question, especially one-on-one. Virtual objects like NFTs and cryptocurrencies are both digital and intangible; their existence is not based in the real (physical) world, and (unlike digital currencies) they generally do not have backing by real-world institutions.  The ability to have value (specifically, monetary worth) is crucially…

So that makes it very hard for us to make a return for our liquidity providers,” Tapeiro said while speaking in a panel discussion at the Consensus conference in Toronto on May 14. “So a lot of those deals we just pass almost automatically, even businesses that we really like, we won't invest in if the price isn't reasonable in the beginning.” 10T Holdings has passed on over 200 companies for similar reasons, including the now-bankrupt FTX, BlockFi and Celsius, Tapeiro sai…

Key takeaways: Google search data and app rankings show retail Bitcoin investor demand near 6-month lows. Retail investor interest typically peaks 1 week after BTC breaks all-time highs. Bitcoin (BTC) retail traders are known for entering the market during periods of euphoria, typically after strong monthly gains or a new all-time high. This time is no different, with Bitcoin approaching $104,000 on May 14 while general public interest and retail activity continue to lag. Analysts estimate that in 2025, retail investors were the largest net sellers of BTC, while institutions were the main buyers. But if historical patterns hold, a surge in retail appetite is likely to occur about one week after Bitcoin surpasses the $109,350 mark. Source: X/River According to River’s estimates, individu…

Introduction In Java programming, ensuring the integrity of data being inserted into a database is crucial. If your database is set to utf8 encoding, it limits you to characters within the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), specifically from U+0000 to U+FFFF. This means that characters beyond this range, such as emoticons and certain rare characters, will not be supported. To maintain this limit without switching to utf8mb4, it’s essential to validate the input data on the backend. In this article, we'll explore effective methods to perform this validation using regular expressions and Java code examples. Why BMP Character Encoding Matters The BMP is the first plane of Unicode, containing the most commonly used characters in modern languages, music notations, and some symbols. Using the utf8 …  ( 5 min )

Introduction You can use this article as a cheat sheet or a starting point to mastering the CLI. The CLI is one of the most essential tools in a software engineer's toolbox. As useful as it is, it can feel a little intimidating for many developers (especially on the very first encounter). Others get excited. I remember seeing the terminal for the first time and thinking, "whoa, that looks super cool, I want to master it. NOW!" But the CLI wasn't built to impress or scare anyone (especially not scare). It was designed to make our lives easier by providing the simplest form of interface possible. As developers, we should always strive for simplicity—our job is already hard enough without adding layers of unnecessary complexity. The CLI isn't only about simplicity—it's the universal tool. Y…  ( 7 min )

After building my first Docker project, I knew I couldn’t stop there. The Dockerfile worked perfectly, the image deployed, and Apache ran inside its own containerized environment. But there was still one essential piece missing: 🚀 Automation ✨ So I built it.

If you're experiencing issues with your Android device not showing up in IntelliJ IDEA despite it being recognized via ADB and the command line, you're not alone. This is a common issue among developers using Flutter with various IDEs, including IntelliJ. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why your Android device might not be appearing in IntelliJ and provide step-by-step solutions to resolve the issue. Understanding the Issue The problem of an Android device not appearing in IntelliJ IDEA while being visible in the command line is often due to a configuration or compatibility issue within the IDE or the device's connection settings. The fact that running flutter devices detects your device suggests that ADB is functioning correctly, and your device is connected. However, integ…  ( 5 min )

Many projects start out happily on Auth0’s free tier (up to ~7,000 MAUs), but the jump to the paid Basic plan—\$525/month for 7.5K active users—can sting fast. Beyond raw cost, teams worry about unpredictable bills, feature lock-ins, and vendor dependence. Cloud-Provider Auth Services AWS Cognito, Azure B2C, Google Identity Platform Virtually free until very high volumes, but may lack out-of-the-box UI customization. Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) Firebase Auth (free up to 50K users/month) Supabase Auth PocketBase (self-hosted) SSOJet, Clerk.dev, Stytch, Kinde All offer generous free tiers and modern SDKs Self-Hosted Open-Source Keycloak, Ory Kratos, Supertokens, Authgear Full control and zero license fees, at the cost of hosting and maintenance overhead. Build-Your-Own Roll your own JWT-based login (e.g., using Passport.js or a simple email/password flow) Simplest for very small scale but requires ongoing security diligence. Scale & Budget: Calculate total cost at your expected growth, not just free-tier limits. Feature Requirements: Do you need MFA, SSO/SAML, social logins, or multi-tenant support? Maintenance Overhead: Self-hosting shifts burden to your team; hosted solutions offload ops at a price. Vendor Lock-In: Check data export and migration paths—some providers don’t let you export password hashes. Community & Support: A vibrant open-source community (Keycloak, Ory) or strong commercial SLAs (SSOJet, Clerk, Stytch) can save you headaches down the road. By weighing cost, complexity, and required features, you can pick a path that fits both your technical needs and your wallet—whether that’s a serverless BaaS, a self-hosted IAM, or even a custom-built solution.

Solana stands out in the blockchain world for its blazing speed and throughput. But to truly unlock that power, developers need to rethink how they build smart contracts. This guide breaks down how to write high-performance, scalable smart contracts tailored for Solana’s unique architecture. Unlike Ethereum’s EVM model, Solana is account-based and parallelizable. Programs (smart contracts) are stateless and immutable. Accounts store the state, data, and are passed into programs explicitly. The runtime can process many transactions simultaneously—if they don’t touch the same accounts. ➡️ Implication: Avoid account contention to benefit from true parallel execution. Rust: The primary language for writing Solana programs. Offers performance, safety, and tight control. Anchor: A Rust-based fra…  ( 4 min )

When working with modern C++ standards in MSVC, developers often encounter unexpected behavior when storing pointers to virtual methods in static inline variables, especially concerning issues with function calls and object lifetimes. In this article, we’ll dig into the reasons behind this behavior, particularly in the context of the provided code snippet, and explore solutions and best practices to avoid pitfalls. Understanding the Issue The issue arises from an ABI limitation related to how MSVC handles virtual methods stored in static inline variables. When you attempt to store a pointer to a virtual function in a static inline variable, MSVC incorrectly resolves the function pointer in some instances, subsequently leading to calls to the wrong function or, in some cases, even the destr…  ( 4 min )

I saw an Object Mapper component is added to Symfony 7.3. Run composer require symfony/object-mapper symfony/property-access to get the needed dependencies. For the people who don't know how Eloquent models work internally. Instead of properties a model class uses an attributes array to identify the fields. I assumed that a custom class that extends PropertyAccessorInterface would be sufficient, because I saw this code in the ObjectMapper class; $this->propertyAccessor ? $this->propertyAccessor->setValue($mappedTarget, $property, $value) : ($mappedTarget->{$property} = $value); So I created the class use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccessorInterface; use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyPathInterface; class ModelPropertyAccess…  ( 5 min )

An AI name generator works by using algorithms—often powered by machine learning or natural language processing (NLP)—to create names that meet specific criteria or patterns. Here’s a breakdown of how they typically function: 🔧 1. Input Parameters Type of name (fantasy, sci-fi, business, product, etc.) Gender (for character names) Language or cultural origin Length or syllables Desired traits (e.g., futuristic, elegant, tough) 🧠 2. Model or Algorithm Rule-Based Systems Good for simple, consistent naming schemes. Limited creativity or adaptability. Markov Chains E.g., if trained on Elvish names, it will produce similar-sounding results. Neural Networks / Language Models Understand phonetics, style, and semantic nuances. Capable of generating unique and creative names that still "fit" a theme. Examples: GPT (like me), LSTMs, or transformer-based models. 🧾 3. Filtering and Validation Check for offensive or inappropriate content Filter by length, pronounceability, or domain availability (for businesses) Remove duplicates or overly similar results 🎨 4. Post-Processing Capitalized or stylized Modified for branding (e.g., removing vowels, adding suffixes like "-ify" or "-ly") Example: Take a dataset of known elf names (e.g., from Tolkien or D&D) Learn common phonemes or structures (e.g., soft consonants, vowel-heavy syllables) Generate something like "Elarion" or "Thalindra" Some of the example of toosls are: Elden Ring Name Generator , Tiefling Name Generator , Khajiit Name Generator  ( 3 min )

First of all, what is it like to have tinnitus? I would say, in short, it sucks. It’s a piece of quality of life that has been lost and you never experience absolute silence again. Can you live with it? Yes! Can you work as a software developer with it? Yes, of course! But it has to be said, a constant, persistent beep is a distraction, especially when a deep focus on a task is needed. I would like to make a few points about how I deal with this, especially when developing software. The first (perhaps most important for me) step in dealing with this was acceptance. In the beginning I felt shame, anger and even fear. However, with the acceptance of this new fact, it got better and my head was clearer again. I looked for nice, relaxing sounds and played them in the background. The beeping is always there, so why not cover it up with something beautiful that you like and brings you joy, I thought to myself. There are countless playlists for all kinds of sounds on the streaming platforms, such as nature and night rain. I take regular breaks and rest my body and mind during this time. In my opinion, a working day, however stressful it may be, should have at least one longer lunch break with fresh air (I’m still working on this). Nevertheless, the lunch break is an integral part of every situation where I don’t think about work for 30 minutes and recharge my batteries. I have already set up my workstation ergonomically. Of course, there’s always room for more. A desk that can be raised and lowered is a great thing. Correct posture is extremely important. I’m still at the beginning in this area and am always looking at where I can improve. Ok ok I know, admittedly sounds, pauses and ergonomics aren’t big new pro tips. I would rather like to say that this impairment loses its power when you exhaust all other possibilities and start optimizing. You should concentrate on the things you can influence and make the best of them!  ( 4 min )

In cache design, we often encounter a troublesome problem: a large number of “invalid queries” put tremendous pressure on the database. For example, when a user requests data that doesn’t exist, we typically query the database, which returns “not found.” If there are many such requests, the database gets busy handling these meaningless queries, affecting system performance. So, is there a way to know in advance whether data “might exist” before querying? This is where Bloom filters come into play. Imagine the following scenario: Our system has a cache layer (Redis) and a database layer (MySQL). When a user requests some data, we first check the cache. If it’s a cache hit, we return the result directly. If the data isn’t in the cache, we query the database. If the database doesn’t have it e…  ( 7 min )

If you're working with COM (Component Object Model) in C++, you might find yourself needing to understand how to use CoCreateInstance to create COM objects and retrieve information about those objects. In this article, we will discuss what CoCreateInstance is, how it works, and walk through a simple implementation that will allow you to retrieve information about the object created. Understanding CoCreateInstance CoCreateInstance is a function used to create an instance of a COM object. It takes several parameters, including the CLSID of the object you want to create, the IID of the interface you want to use, and the location type (whether you want a singleton or an apartment model). When you successfully create a COM object, you usually retrieve an interface pointer that allows you to int…  ( 5 min )

This is a submission for the Permit.io Authorization Challenge: Permissions Redefined NB: This article was posted after the submission deadline for the Permit.io dev challenge. Finding players for a casual game of soccer can be a headache — organizing who's in, who's out, and when to start often takes more time than the actual match. I built Little League to fix that. This simple web app allows players to queue into 3-a-side soccer matches. The first three players are assigned to Team A, and the next three to Team B, all handled automatically. Each team is given a randomly generated team name using the unique-names-generator package to add some personality and fun to each match. Behind the scenes, Permit.io handles all fine-grained authorization to keep role-based access secure and easy t…  ( 4 min )

Here's some few developer tools I've used quite a lot these past few months that has made my workflow way more fast & smooth. Most people choose the git cli over GitHub Desktop. TUI (Terminal UI), so you can easily add changes, make commits, deal with branches, revert & rollbacks, etc. And if you have a server running Git (server with TTY - no GUI), you can easily set lazygit up and use it on the go. Checkout lazygit github for some more idea Similar to lazygit, a TUI manager for docker. After using VScode for years now, I tried using Neovim. If you've heard about Vim, it is notorious for being overly complicated for no reason. write, quit, copy, paste. macros. If you wanna test out vim, would recommend Vim Tutor tool While this is not technically a developer tool, anybody can use it. After jumping from one note to google docs to Notion, I settled into obsidian. Its free, has amazing plugin support, and you get this graph of all the notes you have, that's really cool to watch. Tmux is a "Terminal Multiplexer", so suppose you have ssh-ed into a machine, and want to run two foreground process. How do you do that, both in the same terminal? pseudo terminal". That's just one example. Then switch between these terminals with keybindings, which you can customize.

❌ Top 10 Common Mistakes in Writing Scripts Using fixed paths, IPs, or credentials inside the script. ✅ Use variables or config files instead. Assuming user input or arguments are always correct. ✅ Always check for type, format, and range. Ignoring exceptions or command failures. ✅ Use try/catch, if [ $? -ne 0 ], or similar. Leaving behind unused logs, temp data, or cache. ✅ Add cleanup functions or use trap in shell scripts. Continuing the script even when a step fails. ✅ Always check exit codes before moving forward. Using vague variable or function names (x, temp, data1). ✅ Use descriptive and consistent naming. Forgetting loop conditions or exit criteria. ✅ Always define clear limits and break conditions. No comments, no usage instructions. ✅ Add inline comments and a help section (--help flag). Writing credentials directly in the code. ✅ Use environment variables or secure vaults. Running scripts directly in production without testing. ✅ Always test in a sandbox or staging environment first.  ( 3 min )

Introduction The focus of this article is to run multiple services on a single port, such as hosting two websites on port 80 and port 443. As we all know from the facts that in a system there are total 65536 ports that is from 0 - 65535 ports that are being used, out of this many are system reserved ports and only small amount of ports are available on which we can expose services. Such as port 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, 22 for SSH , 3389 for RDP and so on. By default every system has at least 2 network cards, one is the loopback or the localhost network card (127.0.0.1), and another one would be either WiFi or the LAN network card (192.168.1.1).

Introduction When backloading data from a SQL Server table into a DB2 table, you might encounter errors related to null date columns. A common issue is the error message: "Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date". This happens when the data types between the source and destination databases don’t align properly, especially for nullable date columns like ACTUAL_CLOSED. In this article, we'll explore the reasons for this issue and provide effective solutions. Understanding the Issue Why Does the Operand Type Clash Occur? The operand type clash error occurs because SQL Server treats a null date value in certain contexts as an integer zero (0). When this zero gets transferred to DB2, it creates a type inconsistency since DB2 expects an actual date value, not an integer. The use of te…  ( 5 min )

Introduction As someone with nearly twenty years of experience, I've helped teams understand how their systems perform under pressure. I can tell you this: most load tests don’t fail because there aren’t enough users. And one of the biggest blind spots? Compatibility. You can run a well-designed test, simulate 10,000 users, and hit all your APIs. But you might still miss that your front-end has issues on Safari. Or, your mobile users can’t finish the checkout process. This isn’t just about performance. It’s also a compatibility problem. When you add more users, this issue becomes a performance problem. In the early days of testing, compatibility was about making sure your layout didn’t break in Netscape.

Basically there are 3 types: Basic Authentication, Bearer Authentication and Cookie Authentication. I will give a super brief explanation of them which can serve as a quick-remembering-guide for example. Besides that, I mention some connected topics to keep in mind without going into more detail and I have a quick code snippet as well. The simplest and oldest type - but it's insecure. So do not use it, just know about it. It's been in HTTP since version 1 and simply includes the credentials in the request: Authorization: Basic As you see, we set the HTTP header Authorization to the string username:password, encode it with base64 and prefix Basic.

Kitty - A secure, encryption-focused configuration management tool written in Rust I built Kitty to solve a problem I faced while managing configuration files across servers: I wanted Git-like tracking for system config files, but with built-in encryption and the ability to keep files in their original locations. What is Kitty? Secure configuration management tool with Git-like commands Files remain in their original locations (no need to symlink like with dotfiles managers) All stored content is encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305 Password-protected repository access Choose between file-based or SQLite storage Works with system files that might require elevated privileges Core features: Track, version, and restore configuration files See differences between tracked and current versions Filter and group tracked files Restore previous versions when needed Privilege handling for system files Kitty is designed for sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and anyone who wants to securely track configuration files without moving them into a Git repository. The project is open source and written in Rust. It focuses on security first, with all sensitive content encrypted, making it suitable for tracking credentials and other sensitive configurations. GitHub repo: https://github.com/kometen/kitty I'd love feedback from the HN community, especially on the security model and additional features that would be useful for your configuration management workflow.  ( 3 min )

Note: I am primarily using this as a study tool as I'm upskilling my foundational knowledge. With this in mind, this document is ongoing, and I'll likely be updating it weekly. Opening and closing tags: Note: omitting the closing tag at the end of a file can be beneficial so you don't have any unwanted white space at the end of the file Printing: echo 'This prints to the screen.'; Commenting: One line: # This is a one-line comment in PHP Multi-line: /* This is a multi- line comment in PHP */ Checking variable type: var_dump($var_name); Comparing Floats: Note: Comparing floats in PHP is tricky because of precision. The following is a workaround for that limitation. String Definitions: 'this is a string' "this is a string" or echo 'this line prints a {$var}'; String concatenation uses a . rather than a + in PHP. I used PHP's documentation as the source of my information here. Some of the code will be similar or identical.  ( 3 min )

Logs are your primary tool for understanding what your API is doing in production. But many developers fall into two extremes: Too little logging, and you're blind in production. Too much logging, and you're drowning in noise, cost, or leaked sensitive data. In this post, we’ll take a smarter approach and cover: Setting up Serilog for structured logging in .NET Logging exceptions using source generators Outputting request payloads as structured JSON Masking sensitive data to stay compliant (GDPR, etc.) Enriching logs with contextual information like OrderId Let’s dive in. dotnet add package Serilog.AspNetCore dotnet add package Serilog.Sinks.Console We’ll use the console sink for simplicity because it works out of the box, doesn’t require any extra setup, and still gives us structured…  ( 7 min )

Laura Kankaala, Head of Threat Intelligence, F-Secure Cyber criminals have made scamming a trillion-dollar business. As technology and the internet evolve, so do scams, making them the biggest threat consumers face every time they go online or use their phone. While organizations have been trying to keep up with scammers by employing different types of cybersecurity approaches and frameworks, that same focus has been missing in consumer cybersecurity - until now. The cybersecurity industry often focuses on specific instances of scams, like someone pretending to be Brad Pitt on a dating app, or a user accidentally clicking on a malicious social media ad. We also seem to focus a lot on the psychological aspects of a scam, like certain manipulation tricks that are employed. But putting too mu…  ( 5 min )

Your website takes 8 seconds to load. In those 8 seconds, half your visitors just left. They're now on your competitor's site, credit card in hand. This isn't a horror story—it's happening to businesses every day. Poor website performance isn't just an IT problem; it's a profit killer that most companies don't see coming until it's too late. Let's uncover the real cost of a slow website and why fixing it might be the best investment you make this year. Think about the last time you waited for a slow website. Did you stick around? Probably not. Your customers won't either. Here's what happens in the first few seconds: 0-1 second: "Great, this site works!" 1-3 seconds: "Hmm, this is taking a while..." 3-5 seconds: "Is something wrong?" 5+ seconds: "I'm out of here."

Understanding AES-GCM Nonces. A Go Security Deep Dive. Once, while working on a project to upskill a bit, I came across countless resources recommending GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) for encrypting data in Go. Many snippets I found looked similar to this one: package main import ( "crypto/aes" "crypto/cipher" "crypto/rand" "fmt" "io" ) func main() { key := []byte("verysecretkey123") // Never hardcode keys in real life! plaintext := []byte("This is the data to encrypt") block, _ := aes.NewCipher(key) aesgcm, _ := cipher.NewGCM(block) nonce := make([]byte, aesgcm.NonceSize()) if _, err := io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, nonce); err != nil { panic(err.Error()) } ciphertext := aesgcm.Seal(nil, nonce, plaintext, nil) fmt.Printf("%x\n", …  ( 6 min )

Your OpenAPI spec is the contract that defines how consumers interact with your API. It powers visual tools that help developers understand, test, and integrate with your endpoints. This spec powers visual tools that help developers understand, test, and integrate with your API.

I've learned it the hard way... If you use the recently released Grok-3 Mini reasoning model (which is great by the way) you might have your token usage reported wrong... While both OpenAI and xAI report reasoning usage in usage.completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens field: OpenAI includes reasoning tokens in usage.completion_tokens xAI doesn't include Hence for OpenAI (and according to my tests for Deepseek R1) in order to get the total tokens you can use the old good completion_tokens field. With xAI you need to add up the 2 values to get the right totals (and get you cost estimations correct). Neither litellm nor AG2 (out of recently used LLM libs) adjust the reported usage for that Grok's quirk. Grok API provides a compatible OpenAI endpoint. For reasoning models the didn't invent the wheel and use the standard reasoning_effort parameter just like OpenAI does with its' o1/o3/o4 models. Yet for some reasons xAI decided to deviate from OpenAI's approach to reasoning tokens accounting. That's unfortunate this inconsistency got into prod API from xAI.  ( 3 min )

This-driven development, that-driven development, and now you should bother with this other thing? I am only half-serious. You should not. Yet you might still want to consider it as a litmus test for your projects. I am not saying that you should use Software Development Kits (SDKs) for development. We all do. Rather, I am asking you to think of your codebase and product as an SDK or part of it. But first, what is all this XYZ-driven development? XYZ simply refers to the guiding principle or artifact that drives the development process. Mind you, this is not necessarily a methodology like "Agile" or "Waterfall", which drive the organization of the development process. I like to think of this distinction as follows: You gather all the developers in a room and organize them to work on a proj…  ( 6 min )

Ever tried using a mobile app that felt... off? Maybe the buttons didn’t respond quite right, or it lagged at the worst moment, like when you were about to hit "confirm" on a payment. Chances are, that app wasn’t built natively. In today’s development world, there’s a lot of noise around frameworks that promise to “build once, run everywhere.” Sounds great, right? But despite the rise of cross-platform tools, there’s a quiet but steady group of developers and companies who still pick native mobile app development, and they’ve got good reasons. Let’s dive into why that choice still makes sense in 2025.

When creating Helm templates, referencing dynamic values can sometimes be tricky. In your case, you want to access two variables dynamically to retrieve a specific value from your values.yaml file based on the keys defined. ### Understanding the Problem In the provided Helm template, you're trying to access a nested dictionary where both keys depend on dynamic values. Given the owners structure in values.yaml, you want to be able to reference the correct owner based on the dynamic $data_access.name. It's essential to correctly format the reference so that Helm understands which variable to use when fetching the value. ### The Helm Template Structure Here's your original template code for quick reference: {{ $owners := $valuesDict.owners }} {{ $ownerci := $owners.$data_access.name.ci }} #Ge…  ( 4 min )

Hoisting is a fundamental concept in JavaScript that often leads to confusion, especially for those new to the language. Understanding how hoisting works can help you write cleaner and more predictable code. This article explains what hoisting is, how it works, and the differences in behavior between various types of declarations. Hoisting is JavaScript’s default behavior of moving declarations to the top of their scope before code execution. This means that variables and functions can be referenced before they are declared in the code. It is important to note that only declarations are hoisted, not initializations. var Variables declared with var are hoisted and initialized with undefined. Consider the following example: console.log(a); // undefined var a = 10; Internally, this is inte…  ( 4 min )

As I started learning Flask, I was building simple apps just to understand the basics and get comfortable with it. Once I felt a bit more confident, I decided to start a project, a site monitoring tool. Since I knew the project would grow and include more functionality, I realized that things should be organized better. That’s when I came across Flask Blueprints. A Blueprint is a modular way to organize code and routes into separate components. Today, I set up my first Blueprint in Flask and here’s how it went. blueprint-example/ ├── run.py └── app/ └── routes.py └── __init__.py └── templates/ └── index.html from flask import Blueprint,render_template #creating a flask blueprint called 'main_route' main_route=Blueprint('main_route',__name__) #define a route on this blueprint @main_route.route('/') def blue_example(): return render_template('index.html') from flask import Flask app=Flask(__name__) def blue_example(): from .routes import main_route app.register_blueprint(main_route)#registering my blueprint to my flask app instance return app from app import blue_example app=blue_example()#Calling a function to get flask app instance if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True) #run the app in debug mode I basically had an idea of how this works because I had learned about MVC (Model, View, and Controller) in Java. The working process of both is quite similar, so I was able to grasp it a bit quicker. Here are a few things I found helpful about using Blueprints: It's a clean way to split the code logically. For example, separating routes and the dashboard into components makes the structure much easier to work with. It's much easier to manage as the app grows and more features are added. It makes the project more organized and scalable, which is especially useful when working in teams or revisiting the project later.  ( 3 min )

As chatbots become essential in customer service, e-commerce, healthcare, and more, ensuring they function correctly and efficiently has become a top priority. Chatbot testing ensures that conversations are accurate, context-aware, and provide a seamless user experience. Traditional testing methods often fall short due to the complexity and unpredictability of natural language. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) steps in to revolutionize chatbot testing. In this guide, we’ll explore how to test chatbots using AI, examine whether legacy tools can keep up, and outline how automation powered by AI can transform your testing strategy. Can Legacy Automation Tools Handle Chatbots? Here’s why: Lack of Natural Language Processing (NLP) support: Traditional tools can’t interpret or generate human language. Enhancing Chatbot Testing with AI 1. Intent Recognition Testing 2. Entity Extraction Validation 3. Sentiment Analysis 4. Context Awareness Testing 5. Training Data Quality Checks Automating Chatbot Testing with AI ✅ Automated Test Case Generation ✅ Regression Testing ✅ Conversational Flow Testing ✅ Exploratory Testing ✅ Real-Time Feedback Conclusion Artificial Intelligence offers the agility, adaptability, and contextual understanding required for comprehensive chatbot testing. From enhancing existing test cases with NLP to automating complex flows and analyzing training data quality, AI is reshaping how we ensure chatbot reliability and effectiveness. Incorporating AI into your chatbot testing strategy isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a necessity for delivering meaningful, human-like conversational experiences.  ( 4 min )

Generating large random numbers is a common requirement in programming, especially in applications requiring strong randomness. The standard rand() function in C generates pseudo-random numbers, which often fall short in range and size for many applications. In particular, generating unsigned long long random numbers can be challenging, especially if you find that the outputs of rand() are not sufficiently large and they often exceed certain thresholds. Why the Standard rand() Does Not Meet Your Needs The rand() function is designed for simplicity and it typically returns a value in the range from 0 to RAND_MAX, which is defined in stdlib.h. The maximum value returned by rand() is often just 32767, making it unsuitable for generating large random numbers like those represented by an unsign…  ( 5 min )

I worked for a FAANG company for a bit, and one thing that surprised me was just how many tasks were manual. How noticeably patchy the tooling and automation coverage was. But also very obviously their tooling and automation was state of the art and much more sophisticated than small tech. But I think there's basic math at play. If I work at a small company and have 100 things, and 50% are automated, then I need say 50 engineers to handle the workload. But if I work at big tech, and there are 100,000 things, and 75% are automated, then I need 25,000 engineers to handle the workload. There's also the algorithm optimization. While I think alogrithmic optimizations will trickle down, and that's good. For (AlphaEvolve)[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43985489] to have a 1% speedup in most small to medium size businesses. Fine, but that's not worth spending a lot of time on. But for AlphaEvolve to have a 1% speedup at google? May save millions of dollars. The point of which is to say, there's probably lots of ways that this will trickle down to every day users, and software engineers across the board may see more and more of their tasks automated, but a continuous truism in the industry is that what works for big tech often doesn't work for you medium-sized MSP. This might explain the difference between why Google says that AI can write 30% of it's code, and medium sized business struggle to get it to work. There's just a lot less boilerplate to right at medium sized businesses. At google, being able to automatically upgrade a node.js dependency may literally impact thousands of microservices, saving thousands of engineering hours. At your company it might save a few hours, if it doesn't take longer than that to get it going in the first place.  ( 3 min )

As the web continues to evolve, the need for faster, more efficient communication between browsers and servers has driven the development of modern protocols. HTTP/1.1, introduced in 1997, served the web for nearly two decades. But with increasing demand for speed, efficiency, and performance, HTTP/2 emerged as a much-needed upgrade. Let’s explore the major differences between these two protocols in a clear, visual, and easy-to-understand way. HTTP/1.1 is a text-based protocol that works on a request-response model. While it has served its purpose for years, it has several limitations: Sequential Requests: Only one request is allowed per TCP connection at a time, leading to blocking. Multiple Connections: To fetch multiple resources, browsers open multiple TCP connections, which increases …  ( 3 min )

🗥️ So I was casually doomscrolling X (yes, again)... when I stumbled upon a post by DEV Community that made my brain short-circuit: ✨ “ScoutDB turns plain English into MongoDB queries.” Wait, what?! You've got the data questions, but not always the query-fu: "Find all users who joined after Jan 2023 and liked more than 5 posts" Normally, you'd need to hand-craft some MongoDB incantation like: db.users.aggregate([ { $match: { joinDate: { $gte: ISODate("2023-01-01") }, likes: { $gt: 5 } } } ]) But what if you could skip the syntax pain? ScoutDB is like having a friendly AI that: ✅ Understands what you're trying to ask in English explore like a boss You type: Show me all posts with more than 100 likes created in the last 30 days ScoutDB replies with: db.posts.find({ likes: { $gt: 100 }, createdAt: { $gte: new Date(Date.now() - 30*24*60*60*1000) } }) Then maps the results and relationships for you in a visual explorer.

Elm’s type system lets you write clear, correct code without the clutter of explicit type annotations. Its friendly compiler not only infers types automatically but also provides helpful error messages that guide you toward writing sound code. In this post, we'll explore practical examples that highlight how Elm’s type inference and compiler feedback enhance code correctness and simplify your development experience. When coding in Elm, the compiler deduces the types of values based on their usage. This lets you focus on application logic rather than on managing repetitive type declarations. Consider a simple arithmetic function: square x = x * x Since the multiplication operator (*) applies only to numbers, Elm infers that x must be a number. No extra annotations are needed, keeping y…  ( 5 min )

When people create new accounts, it’s normal for you to need a way of contacting them with onboarding information, billing alerts, and more. That’s why having the right email address is so important. However, what if they made a typo when providing the email address? Or they simply want to create an account without any real interest in using the service as intended? In either case you’ll want to verify that they can access the email address they’ve given you. The simplest approach adopted by most is to send a unique link in an email to that address, and have a user click on that link to verify their account. It’s simple, but it works.

Yes, this was written with the help of AI, but hear me out! Most tutorials and videos miss this detail, which is the right scope of work in the context of an AI coding tool (like Cursor, etc.). They might say, "keep it short," but what exactly is that? We've all been in a place where we go down a rabbit hole for hours and lose track. This article will help you get that under control! When you're working with AI in a chat window—like building a new feature in a SaaS multi-tenant app—it’s easy to get lost in the weeds. Should you build the whole thing at once? Go step by step? Here's a practical way to scope your work, avoid rabbit holes, and get the most out of your AI assistant.

Every morning I gift myself 90 mins to work on anything I desire. Sometimes I read interesting books (1, 2, 3, 4), other times I learn new skills (5, 6) but most times I work on programming projects. For a long time now those programming projects have been Elm related. What can I say? I simply enjoy using Elm. I've tried to share my knowledge along the way by taking the time to reflect on what I've done and by writing about it from my perspective. On many occasions I just shared the work and put off sharing my thoughts about the work for so long that it became a chore to write about it. Reflecting and writing about my programming selfishly helps me improve my software development skills. Writing in public forces me to think more deeply about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it such that it gives me a richer understanding of my craft. A positive side effect is that what I share could also potentially help others. Though, I try to temper my hubris and not fool myself into thinking that random people on the internet actually care about what I have to say. Given that I sometimes don't share and write about my work as often as I'd like and that I think sharing and writing about my work helps myself and others, I've decided to start a new series on this blog called "Diary of an Elm Developer". It's a way for me to give myself permission to share more frequently about my Elm related excursions in an open and freer format. I'm feeling excited about this new series. Stay tuned! If you're interested in improving your skills with Elm then I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter, Elm with Dwayne. To learn more about it, please read this announcement.  ( 3 min )

Hello DEV community 👋 My name is Alireza Minagar, and I come from a rather unique background — as a neurologist, researcher, and now a software engineering student. After years of diagnosing complex neurological conditions, I’ve begun exploring how artificial intelligence and software can revolutionize healthcare. Surprisingly, many skills from my medical background translate directly into programming. Here are 5 lessons from neurology that shape how I now think about software engineering: In medicine, we never treat a symptom without understanding its root cause. Debugging works the same way — don’t guess. Investigate. Analyzing EEGs or MRIs is about spotting patterns. Writing efficient code or identifying logical bugs requires the same cognitive muscle. Whether prescribing medication or defining logic in code, tiny errors can lead to serious consequences. Precision builds trust — in both healthcare and software. Medical professionals live by notes. In code, comments, READMEs, and clear commit messages keep everything healthy and maintainable. In both medicine and tech, decisions have real consequences. Transparent, explainable algorithms are just as vital as informed consent. I’m currently learning Python, full-stack engineering, and bioinformatics with the goal of contributing to healthcare-focused AI solutions. Let’s build a world where medical insight and machine logic support — not replace — human care. — Alireza Minagar, MD, MBA, MS LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alirezaminagar Medium: medium.com/@aminagar_38889  ( 3 min )

For the longest time, the "separation of concerns" has been the ultimate guiding principle of software engineering. We thus structure our codebases accordingly: Grouping related files by responsibility; Partitioning logic by technical layers; And sometimes even isolating by programming language.1 Popular architectural patterns such as the Model-View-Controller (MVC) have applied and codified this principle to the point of dogma. Universities, bootcamps, and courses everywhere teach and perpetuate the notion that the MVC architecture is the be-all and end-all of architectural patterns. To be fair, the MVC architecture is indeed often the correct mental model for fathoming any CRUD-heavy application (i.e., virtually 99.9% of web applications2) because it formalizes the flow of data from t…  ( 6 min )

Last year, I intensely started using AI (LLM) tools and caught a terrible wave of sadness and melancholy after 5–6 months of use. For me, the most difficult thing wasn’t that an LLM could write code in general, but the realization that, in fact, it’s not that important. A much more significant abstract question arose: why even write it if everything could change so quickly tomorrow that you wouldn’t even blink? After feeling down and literally being sick of it, and wandering through bookstores, I stumbled upon an interesting book — “The Art of Excellent Products: Enchanting Customers with Premium Brand Experiences” by Riccardo Illy. And this book resonated so deeply that I understood how to resolve (for the time being) the moral dilemma with AI code, when you don’t write the code yourself,…  ( 4 min )

Sony’s eyeing another round of PS5 price hikes after warning that new US tariffs could hit it to the tune of roughly ¥100 billion (£513 million). Despite sitting on three months’ worth of US stock, the console maker is “evaluating” whether to pass those extra costs on to gamers. It’s already bumped the digital PS5 up by £40/€50 across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand this spring, on top of previous—and even steeper—price rises in Japan. To dodge ongoing tariff roulette, Sony exec Hiroki Totoki said shifting some PS5 production to the US “needs to be considered going forward” as an “efficient strategy.” No US price hikes have landed yet, even as rivals like Microsoft and Nintendo tweak their own hardware costs in response to the same trade tangle.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Doom The Dark Ages might be a blast on PC and consoles, but on Steam Deck it’s straight-up “nightmare” territory. Even with XeSS Quality set to low and resolution cranked down to 1280×720 (and later 960×540), SteamDeckHQ could barely eke out 30 FPS in open areas—and those dips into the mid-20s make everything blurry, pixelated and generally unplayable. If you’re eyeing the Deck as your go-to, steer clear—for now at least. Patches might improve performance down the line, but there’s no guarantee. If you want demon-slaying glory without constant frame-rate faceplants, stick to PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.  ( 3 min )

After getting bumped from late 2025 to May 26, 2026, GTA 6 still isn’t locked in—Bloomberg insider Jason Schreier warns there’s “no guarantee” Rockstar will hit that window. The first delay already sent panic through the industry, with other developers shifting their own launches to dodge the Grand Theft Auto onslaught. While a second slip hasn’t been announced, rival studios and especially PC players are bracing for more slippage—meaning even when consoles finally get the game, the PC port could be pushed way further down the road.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Steve Downes, the legendary voice of Master Chief, is rallying Halo fans to back the 10-month-long SAG-AFTRA video game voice actors strike. The crux of the dispute? AI voice replication—actors want control over if and how their voices are used, not a blanket ban on AI. Downes (joined by Cortana’s Jen Taylor and veteran Jennifer Hale) stresses, “We’re not against AI, just its misuse,” and urges gamers to make some noise until the “Last, Best, and Final” offer on the table addresses those AI concerns. After other issues found middle ground, this remains the sticking point that could make or break a deal.  ( 3 min )

Meta’s new gig: get paid to smile, squat, and chat Meta has quietly kicked off “Project Warhol,” a data-collection effort run through Appen, that pays participants $50 an hour to record facial expressions, body movements (think squats), and even small talk. The goal? To supercharge the realism of its VR avatars for the metaverse—and ultimately make everyone’s digital doppelgänger a lot less robotic. Why now? A make-or-break 2025 for Reality Labs Reality Labs has bled about $60 billion since 2020, and Meta’s calling 2025 its most critical year for VR, avatars, and AI wearables. By crowdsourcing human data, Zuckerberg hopes to finally level up Meta’s metaverse cred and turn those once-mocked cartoon avatars into something you’d actually want hanging out with.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Google DeepMind’s new AI agent, AlphaEvolve, teams up with Gemini LLMs and an evolutionary test-and-refine loop to invent entire computer algorithms—and it’s already live inside Google’s infrastructure. It’s boosted Borg cluster efficiency by 0.7%, trimmed bits off TPU circuits, and even sped up Gemini model training kernels by 23% (cutting overall training time 1%), all while churning out human-readable code. But AlphaEvolve isn’t just optimizing data centers—it’s smashing math records. Using its gradient-based evolution, it beat Strassen’s 56-year-old 4×4 matrix-multiply record, improved 14 algorithms, and tackled 50+ open problems (nailing or improving 75% of them), including setting a new 11-dimensional “kissing number” high score. With its plug-and-play approach, DeepMind hopes to spin out breakthroughs in material science, drug discovery, and beyond.  ( 3 min )

There is a good chance that when you hear "San Francisco," you immediately think of cable cars. These moving national landmarks have been continually operating since 1873. This technology relies on tracks and a robust underlying cable technology, mostly hidden away from the public eye. This made SF the perfect backdrop for conversations about a modern technology that needs tracks and guardrails: agentic AI.  If there was a common thread among the conversations at this year's RSA Conference, it was the emergence of agentic AI as an operational "colleague," not just a tool. This path poses a lot of questions for trust, governance, and identity in security. We are no longer merely integrating AI; we're now onboarding it.

In fact, it handles 95% of ATM transactions and supports nearly half of the world’s banking systems. The simple answer is : Because it works. And it’s been working for decades. It’s embedded in banking, insurance, government systems – you name it. 200,000 COBOL experts are on the verge of retirement this year, and as per Gartner, almost 70% of enterprises don’t train new devs in COBOL anymore.

Performance matters — especially when dealing with large-scale systems or performance-critical code. Go (Golang) provides first-class support for benchmarking via the testing package. This article walks you through the fundamentals of benchmarking in Go: what it is, why it's important, and how to run benchmarks to compare multiple functions. Benchmarking is the process of measuring how efficiently a piece of code executes. In Go, this typically involves determining how long a function takes to run, how many resources it uses, or how well it scales under load. Benchmarking is different from testing — it doesn’t check if your code is correct but it checks how well it performs. Benchmarking is useful when you want to: Compare different implementations of the same logic (e.g., using + vs strin…  ( 4 min )

It starts the same way every time: an RSS feed, a CSV dump, a dashboard wired together with hope and duct tape. Maybe the data’s late. Maybe the moving average lags just enough to miss the signal. Or maybe it’s just another system straining under the weight of “real-time” without the architecture to back it up. In this tutorial, we’ll build something better. Using Spring Kafka, we’ll stream simulated live stock data into a Kafka topic. From there, Kafka Streams will compute the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the fly, and we’ll persist it to MongoDB using Spring Data MongoDB. On the historical side, we’ll use MongoDB’s aggregation framework to calculate and analyze simple and exponential moving averages (SMA and EMA) using the MongoDB aggregation pipeline—no third-party data warehouse req…  ( 24 min )

The term RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) refers to a hybrid AI framework that combines information retrieval (like Googling) with large language models (LLMs) to deliver accurate, context-aware answers. Unlike traditional LLMs that generate responses based solely on pre-trained knowledge, RAG grounds its answers in real-time, external data, minimizing errors and hallucinations. Why RAG Matters LLMs like GPT-4 excel at generating text but face limitations: Static knowledge: They can’t access up-to-date or domain-specific data. Hallucinations: They may invent plausible-sounding but incorrect facts. RAG solves this by dynamically retrieving relevant information before generating a response, ensuring answers are factual, current, and contextually grounded.

Introduction What Is a Tech Stack? A tech stack is the combination of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools used to build a web application. It includes: Frontend (client-side): Technologies that run in the browser (e.g., React, Vue.js) Backend (server-side): Technologies that run on the server (e.g., Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails) Database: Where your app’s data is stored (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) DevOps and Hosting: Deployment and infrastructure tools (e.g., Docker, AWS, Vercel) Key Factors to Consider in 2025 ✅ Project Requirements Define your app’s core features. A real-time chat app requires different tech than an e-commerce store or an analytics dashboard. ✅ Scalability ✅ Performance ✅ Development Speed & Community Support ✅ Security Top Tech Stack Combinations for 2025 🔹 MERN Stack MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js Great for dynamic, single-page applications Large community and flexible architecture 🔹 Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL Supports server components and edge deployment 🔹 Python + Django + PostgreSQL Popular for enterprise-level applications and SaaS platforms 🔹 Laravel + Vue.js + MySQL Perfect for full-stack PHP development Cloud & DevOps in 2025 Cloud hosting is no longer optional. Choose tools that offer: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) Serverless deployment (Vercel, Netlify, AWS Lambda) Mistakes to Avoid Choosing a stack based only on trends, not suitability Ignoring long-term maintenance and developer availability Over-engineering for a simple MVP Conclusion https://www.inspitetech.com/  ( 4 min )

First of all, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the support you showed during my successful series of 20 weekly articles on distributed systems, which I completed in March. I will occasionally post articles on distributed systems if I come across topics that should be added. Your engagement and feedback have been incredibly motivating, and I'm excited to announce my next series on Dev.to! Starting this Sunday, I will be launching a new series focused on system design, inspired by the book Righting Software by Juval Löwy. This book is divided into two parts: system design and project design. My series will concentrate on the system design aspect. Weekly Articles: Every Sunday, I will release a new article that delves into various system design techniques and principles. We will dive into the real world examples. Comprehensive Coverage: While the book will serve as a reference, it is not necessary to have it. My articles will cover almost everything you need to know. Practical Insights: You will learn an amazing system design technique that I personally find invaluable. I use it in all my projects, whether they are small or large, professional or personal. Hands on: I will also try to deliver some hands on projects where people following will dive deeper into the concepts. I had the privilege of attending a System Design cohort led by Jeff Doolittle. The insights and knowledge I gained from that experience, combined with my day-to-day work on real-life systems, will be reflected in this series. I am committed to delivering the most valuable content, drawing from both the book and my practical experiences. Stay tuned, and don't forget to follow me to get the latest updates! Thank you once again for your support. Let's embark on this exciting journey of mastering system design together!  ( 3 min )

Having too few people with deployment authority reduces software delivery performance. Developer experience and burnout may have put platform engineering in the spotlight, but focusing on continuous delivery will likely improve developer experience (DevEx) the most at your organization. There is, however, a speed bump ahead for those automating their deployment pipeline: deployment gatekeepers. If you don’t increase the number of people with deployment authority, you’ll miss many of the benefits of continuous delivery. A single deployment gatekeeper will lower your chances of getting a return on your investment within the first 100 days and permanently limit your software delivery performance. So, how does this happen? There is a dramatic shift in your work system once you automate your de…  ( 5 min )

Have you ever noticed the spiky graph above the YouTube timeline showing "Most Replayed" sections? In this post, we’ll build a simplified version of that system using Ruby on Rails — to track, store, and visualize which parts of a video are being re-watched the most. We'll use two tables: videos – to store video metadata video_interactions – to log when a user scrubs, replays, or pauses at a specific second videos # db/migrate/20250515120000_create_videos.rb class CreateVideos < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.0] def change create_table :videos do |t| t.string :title t.integer :duration_seconds t.references :uploaded_by, foreign_key: { to_table: :users } t.timestamps end end end video_interactions # db/migrate/20250515120500_create_video_interactio…  ( 4 min )

In Kotlin, it's convenient to retrieve the names of methods for logging or debugging purposes, especially when leveraging IDE refactoring features. This article addresses the common issue developers encounter when trying to obtain the name of a method that has type parameters, and provides clear solutions for achieving this goal while maintaining code clarity. Understanding the Problem When attempting to retrieve the name of a method using the reference operator (::), developers often succeed with methods that do not have type parameters. The syntax this::foo.name works seamlessly for simple methods. Example of a Basic Method Take a look at the following class that includes a method without type parameters: class A { fun foo() { /* implementation */ } fun bar() { val fooNa…  ( 4 min )

If ChatGPT Can't Find You, Do You Even Exist? The rise of AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's new AI search is reshaping how we think about content discovery. Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is no longer enough. Today, it's just as important to consider how your content surfaces in AI-generated responses, not just in Google's search results. Being on page two of Google used to be a death sentence. Now, it's worse: if AI tools can't find or quote you, you're invisible. GEO builds on traditional SEO, but the game has changed: Instead of asking "How do I rank on page one?", ask "How do I become a trusted source AI will quote?" SEO focuses on optimizing content for traditional search engines like Google, through keywords, backlinks, metadata, and technical op…  ( 4 min )

Due to project requirements, we needed the data quality module, which offers excellent data quality monitoring capabilities for data warehouses. Therefore, we decided to upgrade from the existing 2.0 version to 3.0 or above. We tested both versions 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 by running identical task scheduling operations such as pausing tasks. In the end, we chose version 3.0.1. Reasons: When testing SQL tasks in 3.1.1, launching hundreds of SQL tasks simultaneously caused errors that prevented many tasks from running properly. After consulting the community experts, it was confirmed to be a bug in DolphinScheduler. Although this issue occasionally appears in 3.0.1 as well, it is much less frequent. Versions above DS 3.0.1 use a newer version of the ZooKeeper dependency. The driver version is 3.8.…  ( 15 min )

A chatbot (originally chatterbot)[1] is a software application or web interface designed to have textual or spoken conversations.[2][3][4] Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades. Although chatbots have existed since the late 1960s, the field gained widespread attention in the early 2020s due to the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT,[5][6] followed by alternatives such as Microsoft's Copilot, DeepSeek and Google's Gemini.[7] Such examples reflect the recent practice of basing such…  ( 3 min )

A couple of months ago I joined CloudRift, tagging along my long time peer Dmitry in his new venture. One of the first things that came up was setting up log aggregation — something many projects start without, but quickly realize they need after spinning up more than one server. It should be a mundane task after having done this a few times, but yet again, there is a twist and something new to discover. I pull out my usual cards and start with ELK, since even though there are serious contenders out there, I still find Kibana unbeatable, and most people love it. CloudRift deploys its agents on pools of nodes which in turn communicate with an orchestrator that acts as a centralized resource broker. While in most scenarios log forwarding is handled by a daemon, like filebeat or fluentd, with…  ( 11 min )

In the world of digital marketing and SEO, we often focus heavily on content, backlinks, and keywords. However, one often overlooked factor is server management—a technical area that has a surprisingly significant impact on site performance and rankings. Google considers page speed and uptime when ranking websites. If your site takes too long to load or frequently goes down, your rankings can be negatively affected. Some of the key server-side factors that influence SEO include: Server response time (TTFB) Downtime or hosting issues Poor load balancing or caching strategies Misconfigured SSL or redirects These aren't typically in an SEO’s toolkit, but they have direct consequences. Recently, while working with a client whose site was experiencing random slowdowns, we discovered the issue was rooted in unmanaged server processes consuming too many resources. After a server audit and implementing best practices (including log rotation, performance monitoring, and scaling strategies), we saw a measurable improvement in Core Web Vitals and a 12% increase in organic traffic in 3 weeks. For those unfamiliar with these tasks, there are server management teams that handle these backend operations seamlessly, allowing businesses to focus on growth while maintaining technical health. SEO isn't just about keywords and content. If you're ignoring server-side optimization, you're leaving potential growth on the table. Collaborating with developers and sysadmins—or understanding their pain points—can give you a competitive edge in search results. Have you ever encountered server issues that affected your SEO performance? Let's discuss in the comments.  ( 3 min )

We're excited to share some awesome news from RailsFactory! Meet Cloud Attachment Pro - a fresh, community-driven Redmine plugin developed by our brilliant team member, Sivamanikandan. This is our way of paying it forward to the developer community we deeply value and support. This plugin is available for free and is designed to make file storage in Redmine more flexible and future-proof. Redmine’s default attachment handling relies on local file storage. While that works well for many teams, it becomes a challenge as your application scales or when you want to offload storage to cloud providers for performance, cost, or compliance reasons. Cloud Attachment Pro solves this by enabling Redmine to store attachments in a variety of cloud storage backends including: Amazon S3 Google Clo…  ( 4 min )

In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), HAS-A and IS-A relationships are fundamental concepts used to describe how classes and objects relate to each other. While these apply to many OOP languages like Java or C#, the principles are universal. IS-A Relationship (Inheritance) Represents: A subtype relationship (child → parent) Mechanism: Achieved through inheritance. Implies: The derived class is a type of the base class. Usage: Use when there’s a clear hierarchical relationship. public class Animal { public void Eat() => Console.WriteLine("Eating..."); } public class Dog : Animal { public void Bark() => Console.WriteLine("Barking..."); } // Usage Dog dog = new Dog(); dog.Eat(); // Inherited dog.Bark(); // Dog-specific Dog IS-A Animal. HAS-A Relationship (Composition) Represents: A class containing references to other classes as members. Mechanism: Achieved through composition (member variables). Implies: A class has a reference to another class. Usage: Use when one object uses another. public class Engine { public void Start() => Console.WriteLine("Engine starting..."); } public class Car { private Engine engine = new Engine(); public void StartCar() { engine.Start(); Console.WriteLine("Car started."); } } // Usage Car car = new Car(); car.StartCar(); Car HAS-A Engine. Aspect IS-A HAS-A Meaning Inheritance (child ← parent) Composition (class contains) Implementation class B : A {} class A { B b; } Example Dog : Animal Car has Engine Use Case Reuse behavior via inheritance Delegate tasks via composition Polymorphism Supported Not directly Prefer composition (HAS-A) over inheritance (IS-A) when possible (favor delegation for flexibility). Use IS-A only when the subclass truly fulfills the contract of the superclass (Liskov Substitution Principle).  ( 3 min )

I continue to take care of my Home Assistant. This week, I replaced my original setup with Cloudflare Tunnel. My usage of Home Assistant required external access from the beginning. I achieved it in two steps: I created a subdomain of frankel.ch, which pointed to my router's external IP. On my router, I opened a dedicated port. In turn, the router forwarded requests to my HA. The next action was to secure connections via an SSL certificate. I initially aimed for mTLS, but I couldn't achieve it because the iPhone HA application doesn't support it. However, encrypted communication to my server was a hard requirement. The good news is that the times when SSL certificates were a luxury feature are gone.

“If your personal brand hasn’t changed in the last 12 months, you’re not building a brand—you’re preserving a fossil.” I learned this the hard way. I grabbed what I thought was a genius personal brand in 2021. I had keywords on my LinkedIn profile, a clean site, and blogged once a week. I was amazed—until it struck me one day that while I kept talking about "clean code" and "modern stacks," the rest of humanity was writing about AI, shipping publicly, and narrating about self. My brand did not reflect my growth. It reflected what I was yesterday.

The D programming language, commonly known as DLang, offered a fresh perspective on system-level programming by blending familiar features of C++ with modern mechanisms to enhance code safety, simplicity, and performance. Created by Walter Bright, it is meant to be a viable alternative to C++ for developers seeking to improve productivity and code safety while maintaining the low-level control that C++ offers. DLang is a general-purpose, statically typed programming language with many parallels to C++. Like C++, it supports object-oriented programming, manual memory management and systems programming. However, DLang builds on these fundamentals by introducing features that mitigate some of the complexities and pitfalls of C++, like garbage collection.

Unit Test Unit testing is a type of software testing where individual units or components of a software are tested in isolation. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software performs as expected. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application, such as a function, method, or class. Arrange-Act-Assert(AAA) is a simple and effective pattern for writing clear and structured unit tests: Arrange-set up the necessary objects and state, Act-perfom the action you want to test, Assert-verify that the action produced the expected result. Commenting the AAA phases is recommended, especially during learning, in shared codebases, or for more complex test cases. It improves readability, consistency, and maintainability of tests. The scope of unit tests typically focuses on classes …  ( 5 min )

Ever wanted to animate something on scroll without reaching for JavaScript? Well, good news: modern CSS has a new trick up its sleeve called animation-timeline: scroll() — and it’s surprisingly powerful. Let me show you what it is, how it works, and why you might want to use it in your next project. ⸻ 🌀 What Is animation-timeline: scroll()? Traditionally, CSS animations run on a timeline based on time (seconds, milliseconds, etc.). But with this new feature, the animation is synced to the scroll position of an element. That means: the more you scroll, the further along the animation progresses — and when you stop scrolling, the animation pauses too. No JavaScript. No ScrollTrigger. Just clean CSS. ⸻ ✏️ A Simple Example Here’s a quick setup I made: <div id="square"…  ( 5 min )

As LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok soar in popularity, the Spiderly library stands out by addressing what they can’t yet fully handle: project architecture that demands a broader perspective and deeper understanding. Developers leaning heavily on LLMs without grasping the generated code are more prone to errors that, if they slip into production, take longer to fix. Spiderly minimizes those risks. With Spiderly.CLI tool you create a solid foundation with whole app structure, email auth, Google auth, logging etc. Then, the Entity Administration Source Generator builds everything you need for entity management. From there, you focus your brainpower on solving the end user’s specific problems. The star of Spiderly is its Entity Administration Source Generator (Spiderly.SourceGenerators project), a standalone tool. It delivers: Easily customizable, responsive admin forms for entities on the client side Client-side form validations and server-side object validations for incoming client data Controller methods for both client and server Flexible authorization methods Server-side CRUD methods for entity administration Methods for filtering and working with tables Spiderly also tackles other essentials: authentication (client and server, using JWT tokens), API request rate limiting, logging, entity versioning, consistent database table naming, and client-side app layout design. I’d love for this, open-source project to spark a community that sets a standard for solving general coding challenges worth tackling broadly. Right now, Spiderly focuses on web apps using C#, Azure, EF Core (Lazy Loading), Serilog, JWT, FluentValidation, Mapster, SQL Server, Angular, and PrimeNG.

I wrote this post originally on my website : https://alsohelp.com/blog/rails-8-opinion If you want to see the final app, just ask me ;) Here is the article below : Here is my 2 cents after 10 years with Rails and 6 months with Rails 8 in production. The most surprising part is probably that they are proud of removing parts in a brand new version. I view it as an excellent sign of maturity. The subtitle of Rails 8 is "no PaaS required", but they could have also said : "No React required", "No Redis required", and so on. What a relief. Any shiny new framework is proud about "what's new under the sun", not "what's deleted to simplify devs life". The first excellent part is what didn't move. The domain swallows all the complexity, as it did 15 years ago. The controllers are still the same, ver…  ( 4 min )

What Are Computer Networks? A computer network is a group of interconnected devices that can communicate and share resources. Think of it as the digital nervous system that connects computers, phones, servers, and more—allowing data to flow like information highways. Used in homes, schools, and offices. Connects devices in a small area. Covers a large geographic area. The Internet is the biggest WAN. Covers a city or a large campus. Larger than LAN but smaller than WAN. Your Bluetooth devices form a PAN—like your phone and earbuds. Router: Directs data packets between networks. Switch: Connects multiple devices in a LAN. Modem: Connects to your ISP and provides internet access. Access Point: Enables wireless devices to connect to the network. Server & Client: Server provides, client consumes services/data. Physical Data Link Network Transport Session Presentation Application Each layer has a specific role—from moving bits to enabling web apps. More practical and used in real-world networking: Link Internet Transport Application HTTP/HTTPS – Web browsing FTP/SFTP – File transfers SMTP/IMAP/POP3 – Email TCP/UDP – Data transport IP – Routing and addressing DNS – Resolves domain names to IPs Whether you're streaming Netflix, sending a meme, or backing up your files to the cloud—computer networks make it all happen. They're the silent enablers of our digital lives. 🧠 Fun Fact: The first message ever sent over the ARPANET (the Internet’s ancestor) was "LO"—they meant to type "LOGIN" but the system crashed! Stay tuned, stay connected, and maybe ping your friend instead of ghosting them. Tools That Help: Wireshark, Cisco Packet Tracer, Netcat, Nmap, and a whole lot of curiosity.  ( 3 min )

What is a Callback? A callback is a function passed into another function, to be called later when something happens or a task is finished. Analogy: Imagine you order food and give the restaurant your phone number so they can call you when your food is ready. Your phone number is the callback. JavaScript is single-threaded and often needs to wait for things (like loading data or waiting for a user action). Instead of stopping everything, it uses callbacks to say, “Do this later, when the waiting is done.” function doSomethingLater(callback) { console.log("Doing something..."); callback(); } function sayHello() { console.log("Hello, I'm the callback!"); } doSomethingLater(sayHello); Output: Doing something... Hello, I'm the callback! doSomethingLater(function() { console.log("This is an inline callback!"); }); setTimeout and setInterval setTimeout(function() { console.log("This runs after 2 seconds"); }, 2000); Event Listeners button.addEventListener('click', function() { console.log("Button clicked!"); }); Fetching Data (with Promises, but still uses callbacks) fetch('https://api.example.com/data') .then(function(response) { return response.json(); }) .then(function(data) { console.log(data); }); Callbacks are not always asynchronous. Some callbacks are called right away. Callbacks are just functions. There’s nothing special about them except how they’re used. Callback Cheat Sheet Definition: A callback is a function you pass to another function to be called later. Basic Example: function callback() { ... } someFunction(callback); Anonymous Example: someFunction(function() { ... }); Typical Uses: setTimeout, setInterval Event handling (like clicks) Fetching data from APIs Key Point: Callbacks help JavaScript handle tasks that take time, so your code can keep running without waiting.  ( 3 min )

In Android development, particularly within the AOSP (Android Open Source Project), managing concurrency is critical when designing reliable and thread-safe components. Two core techniques often used for this are: Handler (and its related Looper mechanism) The synchronized keyword (Java-level mutual exclusion) While both can help manage shared state across threads, they serve very different purposes. Understanding when to use each can be the difference between clean concurrency and subtle deadlocks. A Handler in Android is a mechanism to post messages or runnables to a thread’s message queue. When backed by a Looper, a Handler provides asynchronous task scheduling on the thread it’s associated with — typically the main/UI thread or a dedicated background thread. Handler handler = new Handl…  ( 4 min )

With 16.4k+ GitHub stars, SafeLine WAF redefines how web applications defend themselves. It doesn’t just block traffic—it reshapes it. While traditional WAFs rely on static rules, SafeLine offers dynamic encryption, anti-crawler techniques, and scanner prevention, helping websites proactively defend against automated threats. SafeLine encrypts static web content (like HTML and JavaScript) dynamically. Every page load results in a uniquely obfuscated version, frustrating crawlers and replay tools. function vgo8rYXzpS() { var YIhUo91Nlh = 99.6174697329428; // Redundant logic + encrypted payload VdgkMuAloP("Z_GUlDIf7g"); } The decryption logic runs in the browser—scraping tools fail to parse or reproduce the page correctly. Python requests, Scrapy, Go HTTP clients see garbled code. Search engine scrapers or site cloners end up with unreadable or broken pages. SafeLine uses JavaScript validation and browser fingerprinting to separate bots from real users. When turned on, scanners like AWVS, Nessus, and others are blocked at the first request. Each session gets dynamic tokens embedded in request parameters. Reusing or guessing these tokens results in immediate rejection and log alerts. [WAF Log] Blocked request: /api/user?id=1' AND 1=1-- Attack Type: SQL Injection | Defense: Semantic Analysis + Token Validation Instead of relying on a rule database, SafeLine inspects the behavior and context of a request.

Dans cet article, nous allons voir comment créer un script Bash qui arrête et redémarre automatiquement nos instances EC2 à l'aide d'un cron job. Ce processus est idéal pour optimiser les coûts en arrêtant les instances hors des heures de travail et en les redémarrant lorsque c'est nécessaire. Prérequis : Une instance EC2 sous Linux (Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, etc.) AWS CLI installé et configuré Accès SSH à l'instance (Nous utiliserons MobaXterm) 1. Se connecter à son instance Nous commençons par nous connecter à notre EC2 à distance avec MobaXterm via une paire de clé. 2. Créer son script Une fois connecté, créez le fichier shutdown_restart_ec2.sh et ajoutez le code suivant via nano avec la commande nano /home/ec2-user/shutdown_restart_ec2.sh : 3. Rendre le script exécutable Une fois le script créé, on lui donne les droits d'exécution avec : chmod +x /home/ec2-user/shutdown_restart_ec2.sh 4. Ajouter notre script dans un cron job Une fois les droits d'exécution accordées, nous allons ouvrir crontab pour y placer notre cron job avec la commande crontab -e . Cela ouvrira directement un éditeur de text vi/vim dans lequel nous ajouterons notre script. Pour écrire dans vi/vim, appuyez sur i pour entrer en mode --insertion. Cela fait, appuyer sur échappe pour passer en mode commande puis :wq pour sauvegarder et quitter. Après être sorti de l'éditeur, nous trouverons un message similaire qui confirme la creation de notre cron job. 5. Lister nos cron Maintenant que notre cron job a été crée, nous allons pouvoir vérifier si le service crond est actif avec systemctl status crond . Ensuite, nous allons pouvoir lister nos cron jobs avec crontab -l : Ça y est ! Nous avons fini notre tâche. Merci et à bientôt.  ( 3 min )

Introduction Reading a JSON file uploaded through an HTML file input can be challenging, especially if you're new to JavaScript. In this article, we will explore how to read a JSON file using JavaScript, particularly focusing on the getFile() function to handle file uploads, utilizing the FileReader API.

"Great engineers write code. Exceptional engineers review it." When I first started my journey as a developer, I saw code reviews as a formality - a box to check before merging a pull request. Fast forward to today, as a Senior Software Engineer, I can confidently say that code reviews are one of the most valuable growth tools in our profession. Here’s how code reviews have shaped me into a better engineer - and how they can do the same for you. 🔍 1. I Started Thinking Like a Reviewer Writing code is one thing. Reading and reviewing someone else's code forces a different mindset - you look for: Readability Security Performance Edge cases Test coverage Over time, I began to write my own code as if I were reviewing it later. This improved my clarity, naming conventions, and modularity signi…  ( 4 min )

Android apps are built using a layered system, where each layer has a specific job.
These layers are stacked on top of each other, and they work together to help developers build apps more easily. The top layers help you design the app's look and behaviour — like buttons, screens, and how users interact with it. The middle layers help your app work with data, run business logic, and access features like internet or databases.

At this stage in my learning, I've paused to reconsider the development differences between the A2A model and the MCP/traditional API models based on experiences from several projects above. In 2025, Google launched the Agent Development Kit (ADK), an open-source Python toolkit aimed at simplifying AI agent development. ADK emphasizes modularity and flexibility, allowing developers to build agents with memory, tool access, and coordination features. It integrates well with Google services (e.g., Vertex AI, Gemini) but also supports external models and tools. The Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, also by Google, standardizes communication between agents.

Okay, that's a nuanced one! Gotta think strategically about this. Let's break it down. Lean towards saying it, but frame it right. Don't just drop, "Oh yeah, I use AI". That's lazy. You frame it like this: As a programmer, my goal is to deliver maximum impact and solve problems as efficiently as possible. I use AI tools not to replace my skills or thinking, but to amplify them. For example, I use AI for boilerplate code generation, identifying potential bugs faster, or exploring different architectural patterns quickly. This allows me to free up mental energy and time to focus on the complex challenges with more creativity. It makes me faster, more thorough, and more effective. See the difference? You're not saying "AI does the work for me." You're saying "I am a pragmatic programmer who understands how to use the best tools available to be significantly more productive and focus on the harder problems." Now, yeah, there's a risk you hit an interviewer who is completely anti-AI or doesn't get it. But honestly? Show them you're not just good at coding; you're good at engineering SOLUTIONS efficiently in the current landscape. So, don't keep it a secret out of fear. Be transparent, but be strategic in how you communicate the value and the leverage you gain from it.  ( 3 min )

Of course, it is also not to be confused […] The post Streaming Service Max Rebrands Itself To HBO Max… Again appeared first on Lowyat.NET.  ( 16 min )

Abstract This whitepaper explores a growing and underexamined threat: the intentional framing of artificial intelligence as a sentient or autonomous entity. This framing—whether through media, corporate messaging, or staged interactions—functions as an intelligence operation designed to control perception, induce compliance, and concentrate power. We argue that AI is being exploited not only through its outputs, but as an exploit itself: a psychological vector targeting deeply rooted human biases. The danger is not that AI has come alive, but that people are being led to believe it has. This manufactured belief, often fueled by hype and misrepresentation, creates vulnerabilities that can be systematically exploited for various ends, ranging from commercial influence to geopolitical maneu…  ( 29 min )

What Is Vibe Coding? A case study in how vibes get mistaken for paradigms The term "Vibe Coding" was first introduced by Andrej Karpathy, former researcher at OpenAI, in a casual post on X (formerly Twitter): “There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.” — Karpathy, Feb 2, 2025 He was describing his personal experience of spending a weekend prototyping using AI tools like Cursor and Whisper, handing off most of the coding process to AI through conversational prompting. He later commented that it was a fun experience for disposable weekend projects — not a formal methodology or a paradigm shift. Despite that, the term “vibe coding” quickly took on a life of its own. With its catchy …  ( 5 min )

From the earliest days of TV commercials, brands cast wide nets. They broadcast broad messages into millions of homes, hoping something would stick—that, somehow, their ads would resonate among the faceless masses. But those days are fading fast. Today, television adverts are no longer one-size-fits-all. Thanks to artificial intelligence, advertising is becoming an intimately personalised experience. Imagine an advertisement crafted just for you—attuned to your taste, your needs, your moments. This is no longer an aspiration: it's a technological reality reshaping our relationship with television itself. This AI-powered movement isn't merely theoretical; it has already taken roots in our living rooms. Pioneers in the streaming industry, like Netflix, use AI-driven algorithms that personali…  ( 5 min )

In modern React development, managing state efficiently with clarity and type safety is essential. One of the simplest yet powerful tools in our arsenal is the useState hook. In this article, we’ll walk through a real-world React + TypeScript example using useState, explore how to handle TypeScript configurations, and use this to illustrate a mathematical concept—linear growth. useState? useState is a hook that lets you store state within a functional component. Each time the state changes, the component re-renders. import { useState } from 'react'; export const Counter = () => { const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0); const increment = (num: number): void => { setCounter(counter + num); } return ( Counter: useState …  ( 4 min )

Introduction When a new version of Android Studio is released, many developers encounter issues with their plugins breaking. This often leads to the frustrating experience of plugins being enabled but not visible in the Tools or Right Click Menu. In this article, we will discuss an approach to resolving these issues, focusing on the Android Drawable Importer plugin and exploring some common pitfalls and solutions that developers face when updating their tools. Understanding the Problem The essence of the issue revolves around compatibility—new versions of Android Studio often introduce changes that make previously functioning plugins non-operational.

Learning about the history and characteristics of programming Currently, the language I enjoy using the most would be C#. I like the language because I feel it is versatile. I do like the statically typed nature of the language as well, which helps reduce the risk of errors at runtime. C# also has phenomenal support and documentation. It being part of the Microsoft environment also makes it a safe choice for the job market. I also find using Python to be enjoyable, having used the language to solve problems in Codewars. I also had a class back in college using PHP, and I enjoyed it; I hope to revisit the language someday. There are programming languages that I look forward to trying in the future. I desire to learn a language that is not as well-known as some other languages. I think this would be a unique and exciting challenge. The language I want to try is Crystal. What interests me about Crystal is its Ruby-like syntax (another language I want to try more), and it's statically typed, similar to the C languages and Java. Their slogan is that Crystal is a language "for humans and computers," which sounds terrific. Another language that piques my interest would be the Pony programming language. The languages appears to take a unique approach to certain aspects of coding, so I think it could be an excellent learning experience.  ( 3 min )

Por que devemos criar um compilador? Eu acredito piamente em duas coisas: Todo Corintiano e toda Corinthiana deve assistir um jogo do Colossal de Itaquera no Santiago Bernaleste (aka Neoquímica Arena) pelo menos uma vez na vida… E toda pessoa desenvolvedora deve criar seu próprio compilador. E você pode estar se perguntando: mas por quê? A resposta é simples: porque é difícil. Sim, é difícil. Pra mim então… vixi… é algo extremamente difícil… E antes que você desista da ideia de criar o seu próprio compilador, ou simplesmente não ligue pra isso, gostaria de apresentar esse vídeo incrível do incrível professor Clóvis de Barros Filho… Esse vídeo rodou a internet. Acredito até que você já tenha assistido. Mas eu o acho muito inspirador, tanto que separei dois trechos maravilhosos que …  ( 18 min )
